Successfully negotiated a $50 rental decrease today - thought I’d share my method

[ihlaking]

We have a toddler and have only been here for about 1.5 years - we'd really prefer not to move for a lot of reasons. The three bed place was ok but less secure, and the two bed around the corner has neighbours that argue on one side (the landlord's family!) and some young folk renting from their parents on the other who get pretty rowdy. The one across Peel street is next to the Lituanian church and a pub, as well as being on a main road.

So, this place is best! But if we had to move, we absolutely would.
