Rental Rates

Rental rates are based on market trends. Before agreeing to a rental amount selected for you, haggle a little. Once you've made it past the background check, and the company has verified that you are a viable resident, make them work for your money. There are very likely to be communities in the area where the rent is relatively lower. Let them know you've researched the area and community XYZ has a cheaper rental amount for the same size unit. If they really want you to lease they'll let you have it at that rate. If they don't and you really want to live on that particular community tell them you want to speak with a Regional or someone in the corporate office. Believe me, they want you to lease!
