I now have the mental image of a tenant moving one unit over to start “new” and get the discount lease rate. Thanks for brightening my day.

- TeMPOraL 5y agoThat's how you deal with mobile phone operators :). Threaten them to leave if they won't give you a better offer, and if they don't, then just leave... and come back some time later, to get the much better "new customer" treatment.

- m-ee 5y agoA friend of mine did this during the pandemic. Asked for a rent reduction and the landlord refused but offered them an identical unit in the building at the lower price.
- maddyboo 5y agoI’ve had to do this before to avoid my rent going up several hundred dollars at lease renewal time. They offered me the unit right next door for $500 less than what my then-current unit would cost. The new one was identical in all ways except it was mirrored.
