Random and probably not the right bowl, but wanted to get thoughts from the community. I currently rent an apartment that has a gym amenity and I have not been able to use it since March because of COVID19. Is it reasonable to renegotiate my rent to $60 less a month?

I think the owner could have a better case to argue lower HOA fees, which in turn could be passed to you the tenant. But I don’t foresee you having much luck.

You won’t know until you ask

Fwiw we tried this and were told a flat “no”. They said because all amenities were included in rent they couldn’t “put a price on them” to reduce your rent. But - definitely ask!
