No one wants to pay more for rent than they need to. Having a good background of facts behind you will ensure that you are able to lower your rent and not have to pay as much. If you feel that the landlord is trying to charge too much for the rent on a unit, or is trying to raise the rent too much, then building up a factual case will make a big difference. Some of the steps you can take to build this factual case includes:

 

# Print out the layout of apartments that are in other local buildings that have better rental rates and compare them to what you are getting with this landlord.
# Keep your rent payment records. This helps show the landlord that you are a good tenant who will pay them on time. If you miss a lot of payments, then the landlord is less likely to work with you.

# Bring any documentation you have about both your credit and your rental history to try and show how responsible you are to the landlord.

# If you have rented an apartment in the past, then bring in a letter of reference from that landlord to help build your case.

# Have all of the details possible about the apartment you plan to rent. This can include things like the size, amenities, and how easy it is to get to other places.

# If you have been in that apartment for a long time, bring in some documents that show the different rental increases that you have experienced along the way.

# Stick with the facts. You do not want to go in and use emotions here. You need to use some of the facts to help you build up a strong case. Bring in information about the fair market value and then add in some personal context like your budget and your own rental history to the mix to help show why you are a great tenant and why they should keep you around.
