Renewing townhouse lease for 6 months

RossMAN

Grand Nagus
We moved into our townhouse almost 12 months ago and signed a 1 year lease. We're still a few years away from buying a home.

I'm not crazy about moving out and finding another place, we may stay here until we purchase a home or move to Australia.

Deposit was $500.
Rent is $550 per month.

We're good quiet neighbors and always pay the rent on time.

Our options are:
  • 1) Move. No thanks.
  • 2) Go month-to-month but our rent may increase and we don't receive any incentives for extending our lease.
  • 3) Sign a 6, 9 or 12 month lease. I'm leaning towards 6 months --- only because if we move I'd like to do it during summer time. I would like to eventually move closer to downtown Portland or possibly SW or Washington County (Beaverton/Aloha). I'm sick and tired of the damn meth house busts that happen at least 3 times a week usually within 5 miles of our home.

The property management usually offers incentives if you extend your lease. We don't need any new appliances or carpetting, it's all in great condition.

So I'd like to ask for $$$ off on month's rent, they might go for $275 (half rent) but I'm going to shoot for $300.

Suggestions?

Just curious, have the drug busts been going on before you moved in or are these recent events?

Probably before but recently they've become part of every day life 🙁

What he's not telling you is that these busts are happening inside his home. Why do you think he's the king of "hot" deals. 😉
