House rents Negotiable?
Hi guys, we are due to arrive in Cambridge in Mid November, would love to get settled in a house before christmas and will be renting. Our question is, are the rental prices open to negotiation like house prices? I notice that there is a huge difference in prices in the area and we thought that if we we said we would rent long term we could possibly get the price down a bit. Some rent is better than no rent and all that!
Any ideas?

we have been with our same landlord since we came her 15 months ago,and have now negotiated the rent down twice..in todays financial climate a long term commitment is worth more to a landlord..and the worst they can do is say no...gl...Jacky

I would say yes,rent is definitely negotiable especially like you say you are willing to commit to a longer term, rental..
