<prompt> Human: So a friend and I are a few weeks away from signing a lease to a townhome in an apartment complex in a decent neighborhood. This would be in Missouri.Now it is usually a decent neighborhood, but there was a homicide 2 days ago on the apartment side of the complex sperated by a major road.I could imagine that they start to have a little bit of trouble filling up their units for a time. Being an apartment complex is there anyway i can negotaite cheaper rent? How would i go about this?My only thought is to state that i need them to take 150 off rent so my roomate and i can take out life insurance policies. Which we obviously now need. This is sarcasm on my part, but i will present it seriouslyAssistant: Being an apartment complex is there anyway i can negotaite cheaper rent? How would i go about this?Call and ask.Human: I dont want to give them a chance to say no.  <response>: Its their apartment complex, they can always say no.
