Many landlords are willing to negotiate on price, as long as you aren’t competing many other tenants. While lowering the official rent price can be difficult, sometimes you can negotiate other means of decreasing what you have to pay. For example, if you have a pet you can ask for additional pet rent costs to be waived or for parking fees reduced. If you want a discount specifically on rent, you may be able to extend the length of your lease, giving the landlord assurance that he or she will be receiving rent for an extra month or so. Another easy was to save money on rent is to move in the winter rather than the summer when there’s less competition.
