<prompt> Human: Im looking for some tips on how I would go about negotiating my rent. I am in a month to month situation with no long term lease agreement. We are currently paying 1100 a month plus electric. I have found some comparables in the area around 950 for similar square footage. The area we live in is having a pretty big dip in the economy and I keep seeing articles saying its a renters market. Calgary, ABIm just curious if anyone has any tips on how to go about this? Should I talk to the apartment managers or the rental company? Etc. If I come out and ask for a reduction to 950 is that too much?  <response>: You can ask for whatever you want. They might take the risk that you wont move over a difference in rent, and just say thanks, but no. Or, they might be flexible. Youd have to find that out.
