Location: San Francisco
We had been living in this apartment for 3 years. Our current lease is almost up and the landlord (property management company) offered us a renewal lease with 5% rent increased. We checked their website and all of the similar apartments are listed with 6-12% lower prices than our renewal offer, which doesn't seem fair for us, especially under the current pandemic (the market rate is much lower).
We plan to negotiate the offer, but what should we do if they don't want to reduce? Should we apply for other apartments listed on their website instead, to get a better rate?
(We like this apartment/building/area so we want to avoid the hassle of moving out, but also don't want to pay an unreasonable price.)
