Research comparable properties in the area to understand the average rent prices. This will give you a solid basis to negotiate with your landlord.

[Usha Kumar]

Highlight your strengths as a tenant. If you have a stable job, a good credit score, or a history of being a responsible tenant, use these points to justify why you’re asking for a lower rent.

[Santhosh Naidu]

Consider offering a longer lease term. Landlords might be more willing to lower the rent if they know they have a committed tenant for a longer period.

[Manju Narayanan]

Negotiate for additional perks instead of just a lower rent. Ask if utilities, parking, or maintenance can be included in the rent, which can effectively lower your monthly costs.

[Aruna Venkatesh]

Time your negotiations around the end of the month or during the off-peak season, when landlords might be more motivated to fill vacancies and more open to negotiating.

[Ramesh Naidu]

Point out any minor repairs or updates that the property needs, and suggest that you can take care of these if the rent is reduced accordingly.

[Laila Khan]

Be prepared to walk away if the rent is beyond your budget. Sometimes, showing that you’re willing to consider other options can prompt the landlord to reconsider their offer.
