With this setting, this article aims toanalyze the process of sustained increase in tenants gaining strength in recent decades,taking into account the characteristics of this population and the role of state and market.This analysis is resorted to primary (testimonial information) and secondary sources(statistical data statistics taken from the National Census of Population, Householdsand Housing 2001 and 2010 and the Permanent Survey of Households (INDEC, 2010;2012)), with a qualitative approach to interpret the meanings and connotations that arebehind the phenomenon.This journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
