We’re currently paying $2600/month for a 1 BR + office in cobble hill. While the apartment has nice character and a ton of space, we’ve had continuing problems with cockroaches and mice, and many of the appliances are on the fritz. The LLs have been non responsive to our requests for exterminators and appliance replacement. Our lease is up in a few months, and while we’re considering a move, we’d like to save the hassle and just renegotiate our rent down a few hundred bucks and make the LL address our mounting issues. Any advice on how to approach the LL on this? What size deduction should we ask for and how should we couple our request for repairs and lower rent?
