Buyer: How are you? I am interested in your apartment
Seller: Fine thanks for your interest the apartment is for rent 2500 a month and is a great apartment
Buyer: I just got a job in the area and plan to live here at least 2 years.  I would be able to sign a 2 year lease if you can give me a better monthly price.  I also can provide great references.
Seller: I dont know how much I can do we have other people interested in moving in all the time
Buyer: Yes, but probably not two many people that could sign a lease for two years.  Thats two years that you don't have to worry about.  Can you do $1500 and I can start right away
Seller: oh no that is impossible I barely break even with the high california taxes and maintenance
Buyer: I understand.  What about $1750, remember it is 2 years stress free
Seller: I can offer you $2400 it is not much stress I usually have people moving in within 1-2 months
Buyer: Ok, I might look elsewhere than, $2000 is my max
Seller: Ok good luck then I just cant do it if I am losing money if something needs repaired in the apartment
Buyer: Ok, so 8 min lost on this hit because you won't negotiate lower.  Interesting
Seller: you can hit quit if no deal made and I am negotiating just not half off lol
Buyer: I went up 500 and you went down 100.  $2200 final offer
Seller: you went up 500 from very low not impressive 2300 final offer
