Discussion about
I am interested in a building and have seen their apartments about two months ago. As of this writing, these 7 apartments are still on the market. I am interested in one of the apartments...would jump at it if it was $300.00 cheaper...may not seem a lot...but it is to me:) Any wisdom on how to negotiate with the broker to take at least $300.00 off of the monthly rent? And perhaps get the owner to pay his fee?

ask.

I suppose it depends on whether you're referring to a $1000/month or $10,000/month rental. Is $300 off a large percentage of the monthly rent?

when do you need to move? IMO, the later in the summer, the more likely you are to negotiate a better rate, assuming the place is still available.
