Irrespective, a good negotiation, following these guidelines, will save you money. Get to know the state of the market before you commence.5 p$ L5 |1 Y4 T6 d

Determine how much you can afford to pay and then go higher. For example if you can afford $200 per week, start looking at a figure of say $250 - $260 per week. If you fall into a higher bracket; say $400 per week, start looking at $500.

You could leave the agency for a hour or so ... allows time for the agent to see that you are giving serious consideration to the other properties, as well as theirs.

Confirm again that you are warming more and more to the property, but there are a few other things you want to raise.: N8 }6 F7 \+ y
4 Q8 O5 b" _1 I9 t! Q; @
Tell the Agent that you would consider pre-paying 12 month rent in advance, if the owner would come to the party on the rent. Emphasize, the lack of risk to the owner; a large one off payment in his hand now that could be used to buy more property, etc etc.

8 u+ @2 L5 h3 F4 D WDepending on how your are going in the reduced rental stakes, in approaching your target base rent price, you may have one further go and offer 18 months or two years rent payment in advance.

The agent and owner have given ground on the rent so they may be feeling a bit tender. Let them \'marinate\' for a few hours; maybe even over night, then put the last proposal of the 18 to 24 month prepayment of rent.

6 y; c( Y1 N3 O$ j5 r7 n7 ?' y1 z* bOnce again, only you can judge how the negotiations are going. Most people want to \'do a deal\' quickly and do not have the patience for a long term, several hours, negotiation.

When the final deal is done on rent and before you sign any Lease, you can now raise any property questions you have; i.e. carpet shampoo, condition, painting, plumbing, door locks, blinds etc etc.$ S7 A6 x# J1 X i
+ r: ^ O3 Y3 M6 DTake photographs on a dated film of every aspect of the property (2 copies) one for the agent, one for you. You sign the back of the photos you give the agent and they sign the back of the copies you keep and it is noted in the lease.0 G9 e0 D t; s$ q/ `0 ~

When all these actions are taken, you will have accommodation, that you want, that is better than the original $xxx per week would get and you are secured for 3 years.9 N+ Y p L4 y/ H$ a

Finally, from these negotiation processes, both the owner and the agent will hold you in high regard, because most people admire a good negotiator. |
