[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People can ask whatever they want in a craigslist ad but you can negotiate on rent.    [/quote]

sure you can negotiate - but good luck doing that in a market with &lt; 1% vacancy rate[/quote]

You would be amazed. Every single renter will come in with some negotiation point - whether it is framed as money off the rent, or something should be painted or a new appliance, etc. Everyone asks for something.  So sometimes a landlord would rather knock a $100 off the rent then deal with replacing or fixing something.[/quote]

Maybe for class A, but for class B in trendy neighborhoods, it's a landlord's market now. Tenants are grateful to find a place and aren't asking for any concessions.

Clearly you haven't rented for a while.  We are renters and move every few years or so.  And yes, even in the hippest, trendiest places, tenants negotiate. [/quote]

I own two rental properties in "hip/trendy" Logan, including a basement apartment.  No one has ever negotiated with us over the rent for either place.  We put the ad on craigslist and immediately get dozens of applications.  There is no room for negotiations.   [/quote]
