Negotiate. Tell the manager they've been great, but ultimately it comes down to dollar price for you. Let them know you're starting to look elsewhere unless they can lower the rate. When they reply, even if you like the rate, don't tell them that. Tell them it's not what you are looking for; that because of work and expenses, that rate isn't as affordable. Give them another chance to offer another lower rate or add a perk such as a free month or two.
