NegotiateMyRent
That renewal number isn't a price. It's an opening offer.
We come from the multifamily industry — we've set these numbers ourselves. Now we build your counter: a negotiation letter backed by every comp, concession, and vacancy cost in your landlord's submarket. $149. If they don't cut the increase by at least 25%, you pay nothing.
60 seconds. No card. We'll tell you honestly if it's not worth fighting.
Built by multifamily real estate people. We've underwritten these buildings, owned the units, and eaten the cost of every vacancy. We know the number your manager can actually say yes to — because we used to set it.
How renewal pricing actually works
Your manager has a renewal quota. Your letter came from software.
Renewal increases aren't personal and they aren't precise. A revenue system spits out a number, a property manager sends it to a few hundred tenants, and the building bets that almost nobody pushes back. Most people sign. The model counts on it.
Here's what the model doesn't put in the letter: a vacant unit is the worst thing that can happen to your manager's quarter. Turnover typically runs $2,000–$4,000 per unit — lost rent while it sits, make-ready, listing, leasing commission. They are measured on occupancy and renewal rate. You leaving is a line item they answer for.
That's not cruelty — that's your leverage. You just need it in writing, with the numbers attached.

How we know
We switched sides. The models came with us.
We've set these numbers.
Renewal increases aren't personal and they aren't precise. They come from revenue software and a manager's renewal quota. We've sat in those meetings. There is almost always room — we know where it is.
We pull what they pull.
Comps, days on market, active concessions, submarket trends — the same data their pricing tools use. The difference: we hand it to you.
We ask for what they can approve.
A flat renewal. A smaller bump with a longer term. Waived fees, free parking, a free month. Managers have a menu of yeses that don't require calling corporate. Your letter orders off that menu.

You hit send
The letter is from you. We're invisible. Your manager reads a tenant who somehow knows exactly what their quarter looks like.

Fair questions
Asked and answered.
Do you actually know my building's occupancy?+
No one outside your management company sees their books — anyone who claims otherwise is selling you something. What we see: every comparable unit on the market near you, how long they've been sitting, and what they're giving away to fill them. When the buildings around you are offering six free weeks, your manager's position is weaker than their letter sounds. That's the read we give you.
Who's behind this?+
People from multifamily real estate — we've underwritten apartment deals, owned rentals, and paid for vacancies out of our own pockets. The company started when one of us got a $270/mo renewal increase, ran the same analysis we'd run on an acquisition, and sent a letter. The increase became $70. We've been building that letter for other renters since.
Is this legal advice?+
No. We're a research and writing service, not a law firm. Your letter makes a pure market case — comps, concessions, turnover economics. No statutes, no threats. That's deliberate: it's also what works on a person with a renewal quota.
What if my landlord says no?+
Then you pay nothing. If the proposed increase isn't cut by at least 25%, forward us their final written offer within 45 days and we refund the full $149.
Will my manager know I used a service?+
No. The letter is written in your voice and sent from your email. We're never mentioned. What they see is a tenant who did the homework.
What about rent-controlled units?+
If your ZIP is in a rent-regulated area, we flag it during the free check. Our materials argue market position only — local tenant resources may get you further, and we say so plainly.
Every month you don't counter is money you hand back.
