  1. Thanks everyone. I guess the hang up for me is the garden which makes it harder to find a truly comparable apartment in the area. Considering the cost of moving, I guess this turns into a game of chicken. It would be easy to flip into a commoditized apartment, but we just moved in. Unless we are saving $200 per month somewhere else, the moving premium will eat up any savings from a new, lower rent. Thanks for the warm welcome (TWHS).

  2. twss: 50 dollar reduction is decent. we got a 50 dollar INCREASE, so just 25 each a month, not horrible. i bet we could have negotiated. my roommate didnt want to tho i dont think. he’s had the apt for like 5-6 years and the rent is decent for the area (i think. 2 bedroom plus den, duplex in prewar building) 2400, well now 2450 on first and 5th. what is your current rent?

  3. TWSS, I’m on the Brooklyn Heights/Cobble Hill border, and after my Landlord initially offered a whopping $30/month rent reduction, I ultimately negotiated him down about 8%/month. One of my neighbors did the same.

    CH, I thought there was a tiara wait list for us newbies?
