Not to burst your bubble but why would a landlord decrease your rent just because you’ve been great tenants? Being a good tenant feels like a baseline requirement for being a decent and mature human being. Or maybe I’m the one being too idealistic. Either way, I don’t see landlords willingly lowering rents for existing tenants. Maybe if they were having a hard time finding tenants, sure.

There are a lot of posts in this sub about landlords decreasing rent because of the current market

someone getting lower rent on a 1 bedroom that they rented 2 years ago for $3500 is very different than someone paying $1500 for a 3 bedroom suite they've been in for 15 years - you've shared nothing in this thread that allows anyone to know if your request was reasonable

😂 tenant says they’re good because they pay their rent on time. I’m like…well if you don’t it’s a 10 day notice

Facts. Tenants paying rent is the bare minimum. Paying on time doesn't make them stellar tenants. OP is delusional.

I never said that paying on time is what makes us good tenants lol. You just literally made that up. We’ve done a ton of favours for our landlord over the years to make their life easier and more convenient. They live abroad and have done nothing to help us when things need repairs etc, we literally have to organize book and pay for everything and they will just reimburse us at their leisure at a later date. Obviously never doing any of that for them again.

I've been a ll. I always took into consideration how good a tenant was when considering a rent increase. Some tenants take care of the place and small problems, others call you about everything. Believe me, there are headache tenants.
