I feel much more confident now that I've heard feedback that although there might be some price increses since last year, its not the sharp rises that I've been told and there are still decent places out there.
Bunty, was it a recent newspaper report on the rental increase. I must have missed it but the agent did mention something about this in passing as a reason for the price hike.
Will definitely be a bit stronger with the agent. Thx Bafana, Grim Reaper and Lost Canuck for the advise on standing firm. Was starting to feel a bit desperate after the doom and gloom "schpill" from the agent.
Yeah but does the roof leak and have mozzie breeding/hiding places?Grim Reaper wrote:2200 sqft freestanding bungalow on a 4400 sqft property for 2.1K, prime area.
What's the fuzz?
As Bafana says, play it hard and know what you're doing.
I'm looking for unfurnished. Most of our furniture was shipped as part of the relocation package but I didn't bring fridge, washer/dryer. Am hoping to negotiate with landlord to include those. *Mental note to check quality beforehand*also are u looking at furnished or unfurnished places. if it is unfurnished, you should aim to pay less...if it is furnished, ensure the furniture is good...
i wanted furnished, but when i saw the place it was unfurnished and owner said they will furnish it.. when i moved in, i noticed that the furniture was bad....
Oh I didn't realize that it was a flat rate. Good info Huggybear. Thx.agents aren't compensated to make you pay more $$. their pay out rate is pretty pathetic...only $2,500 per transaction no matter what.
