Written by Guest on 2005-06-26 19:28:50 Well written. Thank you for the tips. The other thing that I have found is that you should definatley try to bargain with apartment complex. I was able to get $75 a month off of my rent by just asking.

Apartment owners are evil Written by Guest on 2005-08-16 18:02:06 Ok, I know this is not a rant and rave site, but I H8te apartment managers. It seems that all they want to do is take advanatage of rents. It is amazing at how often they are either asking for more rent money, charging a fee for something etc. When will it ever end? If you want thrifty rent you are going to have to out there and negotiate hard...

Where's the love? Written by Guest on 2005-08-21 06:53:33 Why do you "H8te" landlords? They are just in business like everyone else. Yes, there are some who are dishonest but that is just like in any other business. As far as charging you fees etc., was there a good reason why they were asking for the fees? Did you not clean the place when you moved out? Did your pet ruin the carpet? Were you 20 days late on your rent?     Sometimes fees are not all bad or undeserved.    If you are going to rent an apartment, play by the rules otherwise buy and trash your own house.

Hates a strong word... Written by Guest on 2005-08-23 09:46:10 but it does seem like when you rent an apartment there are a lot of sharks out there.

Just got cash back... Written by Guest on 2005-09-15 06:25:41 I live in Phoenix, AZ and was just able to get a cash refund from an apartment locator. I didn't know that this actually worked! Thank you for the rent tip!        -- Amy

Incentives go away Written by Guest on 2005-10-27 04:42:11 Like the rent article says, be careful of the $100 off you first six months rent. Basically that is a way for the apartment complex to raise your rent after six months. I thought I could negotiate the lower rent longer but was wrong.

Great article Written by Guest on 2006-06-05 11:48:08 Great article on how to save money on rent. I did not realize things like asking for cash back and other tricks. Kudos for Mr. Thrifty.

Negotiate Negotiate Negotiate Written by Guest on 2006-06-24 06:13:31 Really the best way to truly save some serious money on your rent is to be willing to negotiate. If the landlord is not willing, move on to the next place. Being willing to ask for either lower rent or perks can result in huge savings.     For example, in the place I am living in now, I got $50 off the rent, 1 month free and a free storage unit. None of these things were originally offered to me.    Ask and negotiate!
