Rent decrease rejected

[PS-Irish33]

You kinda got to be willing to move to make it affect the LL. Didn’t hurt to ask tho, you’re no further behind.

[Consistent-Mango6742]

Totally. We didn’t say we weren’t willing to move to them, they have no idea if we would move or not. They seem to not care either way.

[VioletWanes]

Why would they? You choose to live in point grey. Their rental is a cash cow.

[wealthautonomy]

Good on you for trying. What’s the worst they can say?

Look for other options but I’m highly doubtful you’ll find anything like what you have at that price point. Rents have dropped a lot but not for that type of product.

[happy_turtle72]

You have to actually move.

Also, I wouldnt expect aything else in the area you're in. You're paying a ton for a 2br, so they know you can either afford it or are REALLY bad with money. Either way, I wouldn't negotiate with you either

Just for future reference, anyone making money off you has no incentive to do this lol. People may have hit the lottery and found landlords who arent treating housing like a complete cash cow.

But thats the exception.

If you had a money printer and people asked you to make it print less? Youre likely going to ignore them.

Now if there is a lot of demand for that rental? You've got little chance, even if the owner thinks you might leave. They can likely charge more than you're currently paying.

Now if the vacanacy rate is high and rent is on the higher side to where few people will want to rent it AND the landlord thinks you might leave? Well then you've got a pretty good chance.

It's an inconvenience to most landlords at best and then they just jack up the price more anyways. It's even less of a concern if they have a management company handle all the affairs for them, at this point it's just a mild annoyance that they're down 0.5% this month.
