How to Negotiate With Your Landlord

Do you know how to negotiate with your landlords before signing on your leasing agreement? No problem I have some suggestions for you which make your negotiation process easy for you. These simple suggestions will work for you. When I am moving to my Atlanta apartment I have found these points worth sharing and which are important for those who are about to move to their new apartment.

Read the document of leasing agreement thoroughly. If you don’t understand any of the agreements then point them out on the spot and get clarified on them. If you feel uncomfortable with the lease or want someone to review it, ask to reschedule the lease signing. Negotiate only to the concerned person who has the authority in making changes. The perfect time for the negotiations is at the time of signing the leasing agreement. Do not ask any questions before completely reading document. If the landlord resists putting any changes in writing or seems offended or hurt by your negotiation, be ready to reassure your landlord that you trust him or her. Be polite when you are negotiating. Do not get hostile in any circumstances. Do not make any ultimatums like unless you agree or I won’t sign until, etc. Choose only those issues which are worth negotiating, do not choose simple or small issues and waste your time and energy.
