all business dealings are negotiations - not sure why you are so upset with this.

it's all money - remove your "feelings". if the place is empty for 2 months because he moves out, what is your monetary cost? More or less than the $1800 he's proposing for a reduction?

counter with $100 reduction for a 9 month lease or the $200 with a 12 month lease ... whatever you want.

or have him go and get someone else in as quickly as possible .. crossing your fingers that they pay timely like this guy has ... I don't care how well you screen someone, you don'tknow who is comingin the door.

I'd rather have the place vacant for a month and lose money that way then have a tenant haggle down my fairly priced rent. Don't forget, the tenant has to actually be able to afford to move. That means finding a new place, app fees, rent plus deposit, plus moving expenses, plus time... Most are just bluffing.

I am thinking this tenant has either found somewhere else cheaper or he really does not care if he stays or leaves.

Bill, I think you are right. I rejected his offer and he was like, ok. Nice doing business with you. I will hand you the keys on the day lease expires.
