My lease expires next month. They offered a new contract with a 4% rent increase. I am wondering, given the state of the rental market, if I have any leverage to negotiate a lower rate. Sure I can just send an email stating my counter offer, but I am wondering if there is a smarter way to negotiate.
My job is likely not threatened by the downturn, and I have 8 months of expenses in cash. So this isn't life or death, I'd just like to pay lower rent.
What would you do?
