<prompt> Human: Ive been working a lot this summer and have come to realize Ill have the opportunity to be able to pay off a years worth of rent and still have money left over. Ill be making roughly 12k this summer and rent is about 6k. Would it be wiser for me to try and pay it all off at once and try and negotiate a lower price or pay monthly just so I have extra money just in case?I should mention Im a college student with no student loans thanks to scholarships, only other real expenses are gas for my car, utilities 30 a month and internet 5 a month  <response>: Unless its significantly lower, dont pay in advance. They have much less motivation to reply timely to your requests if something needs to be fixed, if you need to break the lease and its cheaper to break it then too bad, etc.
