Looking to renew a lease in Lakeview and wondering how much room there is to negotiate rent. Landlord is keeping rent flat and giving 1 month free. Any advice on how to get a better deal? (Is this standard for the market right now?)

I’m subleasing in Lakeview. Dm if interested to move and potentially get a better deal.

1 month free seems pretty good, October-Jan I was seeing a lot of 2 months free but seems like those are falling away

Negotiate: I like it here and want to stay but I have to be honest, I’m looking at (....) and need more than 1 month. How can you help me stay?

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?
