I saw the apartment and wanted to rent it. Mr. Jones said that I would have to pay double the usual rent deposit, since I use a wheelchair, and he was afraid that I would damage the apartment. He gave me a rental agreement to read, sign and return. It shows the high deposit amount. Write out what you want to say.
Tape record it.
Go over it with a friend. Remember, you want to make it as easy as possible for the other person to agree with you. List each step you plan to take and when. I want my landlord to promise to use safer cleaning products in the hallways because the ones he uses cause me to have trouble breathing. I write well.
