<prompt> Human: A little background info: the apartment is in a college town. This property is managed from a company based out of another state, and does not do a whole lot of marketing in the college town yet. There are about 8 units available, one of which we were told has been empty for about 6 months. Can I use this to my advantage to haggle to the rent price or security deposit? If so, how would I go about doing this successfully?  <response>: Chances are, in a college town with low vacancy rates, you will not have a lot of wiggle room. If its been empty for 6 months, Id also ask why thats been the case. You might be able to gain some leverage from that answer.
