Hello.
I'm meeting with a letting agent to view a flat tomorrow. The flat sounds good, although I am hoping I can get €75 knocked off the monthly rent. Is this fairly standard practice and can I get some tips!
I succeeded in doing this in my last place by making up some reasons on the spot ("You advertised a studio- this is a bedsit!" / "That fouton looks like a deathtrap", poor ventilation etc.). I have a list of things I hope this new flat will have, but even if it has all those I still want it for €75 less! Can anyone think of some random stuff I could use as haggling points or things that I can say that make me sound like the ideal tenant?
Thanks pals. x
