I've been in my rental flat for nigh on a year. I've been looking around for a new flat as I'm not sure whether or not I want to continue my tenancy. My flat is a 1-bed. I notice that 1-bed flats in my building that are exactly the same, or better, than mine, are going for ?50 to ?75 a month less than I am paying. In fact, even 2-beds in my building are less or the same as what I am currently paying. I like my flat and would seriously consider staying but I'm not getting value for money. Would it be reasonable of me to ask my landlord for a rent reduction of, say, ?25 a month? If I move out and the landlord has to re-rent it he's almost certainly going to have to lower the rent by ?50 a month anyway plus the flat might stand empty for a while while he secures a new tenant. Presumably the fact that I always pay on time and have been no hassle whatsoever is something of a bargaining chip. Any landlords reading this: would you be inclined to try to keep a tenant you already know is solvent and trouble-free?
