UrbanTurf Reader Asks: What Are the Chances That My Landlord Will Reduce My Rent?
In this week’s installment of UrbanTurf Reader Asks, a reader wonders what the chances are that she can get her landlord to reduce her rent for the coming year.
I live in a one-bedroom apartment in Dupont Circle and pay $1,725 a month in rent. I love the apartment and the location, but I know that I am paying a slightly higher monthly rate than other tenants in my building. I am thinking about writing a letter to my landlord asking for a $100 decrease per month before I sign the new lease. Has anyone been successful in getting their rent reduced? If so, how did you go about doing it?
