TL;DR
- Many rental contracts are made without the intermediation of real estate agencies.

- A BBVA study indicates that 50% of rentals are done directly.
- Data from Inmobiliaria Esteban Ríos shows only 21% of rental contracts involve a real estate agency.
- Owners may believe avoiding commissions saves money but assume all process risks.
- Informal rental agreements can cause incalculable tax evasion and a loss of resources for public services.
- Unreported income to tax authorities can result from informal agreements without contracts or fiscal declaration.
