<prompt> Human: Sorry if this isnt the correct subreddit to post this in... So I found out today that the house where I rent an apartment is being sold and the buyer was hoping to move in at the beginning of September. Since they will be inhabiting both units of the home as a single family rather than renting out my current unit, my lease does not need to be honored it runs out Oct 1st anyway. We were expecting to leave by the end of the year anyway, since we are in the process of looking for a home to buy, but there is no way will will have closed on a place in time.By NJ law, I am required to be given a 60 day written notice to vacate my apartment since I have been here for a few years now. 60 days will put my exit at the end of September, but it sounds like the buyer wants to move in about a month before that. I was called by the current owner of the house asking if it would be possible to leave by the end of August. He is well aware that I can remain here a month longer, by law, but is asking if it would be possible to leave in August... plus he is offering some incentive to leave. As of now, the incentive was my full security deposit back plus 500 moving expenses.I was wondering if there was any gold standard for incentives for this situation. I was thinking of asking for my security deposit, plus a full months rent paid back to me. My wife and I are going to need to move our things into storage, crash at our in-laws, then move into our next place when we find it... We are essentially moving twice. This is a real inconvenience for my wife and I, so I would like to get all that I can get, I just dont know whats reasonable here. Assistant: Not really a gold standard but Im not a landlord - maybe check with the people at rlandlord about how they may handle these situations. Sounds like you know the laws regarding 60 days notice. When seeking more than whats legally required, youll catch more flies with honey. I wouldnt consider the 2x move the landlords problem, but it doesnt hurt to nicely ask for better accommodations. Perhaps ask for last month free in addition to deposit back and 500 to move.Human: Thanks! I agree, moving twice is not my landlords problem since I am going to need to do it either way. I am just doing him a favor in leaving a month early. I think the deposit, last month free, 500 moving expenses sounds good to me. I appreciate your feedback, and Ill make sure to post in rlandlord as well.  <response>: I would agree that the offer is an extreme low ball. It is particularly troubling that they think the security deposit is some sort of bargaining chip. Its a deposit, its meant to be returned to you. If they cant prove damages they have to give it back, so the offer is really 500 moving expenses. A co-worker was in a similar situation and was offered 4,000 to move out three months early, which was roughly the cost of the remaining rent. That seems like a good starting place for negotiation.
