The state guarantees tenancies
Uruguay operates state-backed rental guarantee services — the Contaduría General de la Nación for public employees and ANDA and others for the wider market — which guarantee the landlord against default in place of a personal guarantor.
So an Uruguayan lease frequently names a guarantee institution rather than a person, and that is a structural feature of the market rather than an unusual arrangement. We name the institution and translate the guarantee clause.
Ley 14.219, and the two-year term
Residential tenancies are governed by Ley 14.219, which sets minimum terms and regulates termination, and the standard residential term is two years.
The contract states the term and the statute governs the floor. We translate the clause as written and reproduce the citation.
Unidades indexadas, and the rent adjustment
Uruguayan rents are commonly adjusted annually by an index, and some contracts are denominated in unidades indexadas or unidades reajustables — inflation-linked units of account with published values.
Converting an indexed unit to a peso figure at one date invents a number that changes. We keep the unit and explain what it is.
The cédula, and the check digit
Parties are identified by cédula de identidad, seven digits plus a check digit after a hyphen, which verification requires and which is routinely lost in retyping.
We reproduce it exactly. Uruguayan numbers write a comma as the decimal separator. See our Spanish page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, and it comes back typically within 24 hours as a PDF formatted to mirror the original, with a signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead. Marginal annotations are translated in place, in the margin, and every seal, stamp and registry endorsement is translated with the text. See how we translate and certified versus standard.
