It is possible to negotiate with your landlord in order to get a lower rent amount each month. But you have to remember that negotiating is going to be more of a give and take process. You need to be willing to offer something in return to get the better rate. Some of the concessions that you can exchange in order to get the rent reduced a bit includes:

# See if they would be happy to have some of the rent ahead of time. Think about how much you can reasonably afford to pay the landlord at once at the reduced rate. They may be willing to do it to help keep the costs down and not have to chase you for the money either.

# Agree to sign a longer lease. The traditional lease is for 12 months, but you can get a better rate in some cases if you agree to sign the lease for 14 months or more. Plus, you will know that the rate will stay lower for at least that amount of time.

# Agree to a unit that hasn’t gone through renovations yet. If your apartment is doing renovations at the time, agreeing to go with one that hasn’t been upgraded could be one way that you will save money and get into the apartment a little bit cheaper.

# Ask about whether you can be an apartment attendant. In some units, you may be allowed to do some tasks for the landlord or property manager in order to get a reduction in the rent. You can help close the pool after hours, help mow, or do some odd jobs like cleaning to help get stuff done while reducing your monthly rent too.

You need to be willing to make some concessions to make sure that you have a fair arrangement with your landlord. If you are willing to give them something and can show how your rent is too high, you are more likely to get the rate reduction you are looking for, making it more affordable to live in that apartment building.
