Hi,
I've been renting for two years this apartment with yearly renewals.
Last year the lease increased by 5$ a week, now for the next lease the PM told me it'll be 15$ a week more! I have tried to negotiate down to 10$ but I was probably not good in that. I mentioned that the apartment next door, same as my one, was recently available for renting $30 the week cheaper than what I currently pay.
She also said the lease would increase no matter if I stay on a yearly contract or renewing monthly.
Do I have any chances of negotiating? would the landlord be more interested in having me for another year rather than on a monthly? paying regularly in time no issue at any inspection etc
Is the PM really reflecting what the landlord says/wants?
Can the tenant ask the PM to have a word with the landlord?
thanks
Mike
