Is it okay to negotiate rent?
Let’s answer this question sooner rather than later – yes, your rent is negotiable. If your lease renewal comes with a rent increase, or if your new lease comes with some hefty fees or high rent, then it’s time to consider negotiating. Remember, you can negotiate more than just a lower rent!

What are includeds in regard to rental properties?
Physical Inclusions. Built-in appliances, such as stoves and dishwashers, are expected to be part of rented property, but freestanding appliances, such as refrigerators, clothes washers and dryers and microwaves, are not considered built-in appliances and are optional appliances for inclusion in a rental property lease.
Do you ask the right questions when renting a house?
While some renters ask the “right” questions, they often do not ask them in the most beneficial way. Since most of the pricing, location, and utility information will likely already be available in the rental ad, I think you should focus on extracting the information that a landlord doesn’t necessarily want to share.
Do you have to include utilities in rent?
For an adjusted rental price, the owner may include utilities for the rental property in the monthly rent. If you have damaged credit and cannot afford the deposits for utilities, you may be able to work a deal with the property owner to leave the utilities in his name and add the amount to your monthly bill.
What to do if Landlord tells you price is higher than advertised?
If the landlord tells you a higher price than what was advertised, just point out the discrepancy and you should get the lower advertised price. The cost of utilities will greatly affect the overall cost to live in the unit.
