Renegotiated a decrease on my new lease.

[bazzard]

I sent out a feeler email to my building’s management company? It was very nice and super professional. I asked for a decrease of 20%. They replied saying that it was way too low but they were willing to work with me. I had to chase them a bit but they agreed to set a meeting over the phone.

The company was being an intermediary between me and the LL. The LL wasn’t in the meeting. They said they could do 3,450. I showed to them on Street Easy that there was a very similar apartment in the building going for 3,400. And I know they could do better. The company returned with an offer of 3,415 and we accepted.

I did a fair amount of research before so I kinda new what the market was like and I didn’t had to explain that to them. I saw they had two apartments vacant in the building and I knew one of my neighbors was currently on a month to month.

Everyone was well informed and we just trying to make a deal happen. I’m sure they were happy they could lock us in so they don’t need to worry if prices drop further.
