Buyer: Hello I'm interested in the town home you have listed
Seller: yeah, it's in a nice area, recently rennovated. gorgeous inside 
Buyer: I can pay about 1250. 
Seller: ouch. that's very low for home this size and given all the amenities. 
Buyer: can you negotiate a lower price?
Seller: i guess i can give it to you for 2100 if you sign a 1 year lease
Buyer: That's kind of out of my affordable range. The most I could do is probably 1650
Seller: Yeah that's not going to work. Tell you what, if you do 3 year lease, i can do 1900 a month
Buyer: I'll sign the lease today if you can do 1800
Seller: 1800... that will require a 4 year lease. and every year the home will have to be inspected and you will have to pay for any repairs or cleaning that's needed.
Buyer: I accept.
Seller: ok that's a deal
