Is it possible to negotiate better terms on your lease? It could be worth a try. What do you have to lose? Here are a few tactics to try:

But you may find that there are areas of town which are not in the trendy sections of these high demand areas. Take note of how long units stay on the market in these sections of town. Those landlords may be willing to make concession to you for a fast move-in.
