You may get your price. But, when you ask too much, you will simply have an empty house. This landlord decided an income flow was better than reaching for the stars especially with a good, clean, quiet, repeat tenant! The house was always left cleaner than when I found it!

I once had a landlord rent me a December rental in which there was no heat (the heat pump and back up were totally non functional) and the refrigerator had a lot of left over debris. Moreover, the microwave activated by itself in the middle of night and issued a warning beep that then displayed there was a short in the unit. The landlord stated he knew about the short. That unit was the smallest (2 BR) and most expensive I spent for a December rental.
