Hi,
My wife and I are approaching the end of our two year fixed term tenancy. We have an excellent relationship with the landlord and wish for this to continue.
Both sides are looking to renew with reasonable security of tenure, which is likely to be a 1 year fixed term. Ideally we wish to renew but we have been looking at alternative premises as contingency.
We consider ourselves ideal tenants (Landlord has complimented us as such). I am to request that the Landlord offers 50% rent at renewal month alongside upgrades to the house, or one month free rent with no upgrades.
The obvious alternative is for the Landlord to refuse, but he'd be looking at least a month vacant possession (given the limited time) with an agent's finders fee on top. Then of course new tenants may not be of the same standard as us.
We see this as a reasonable request, what do you think? Has anyone seen/been in simlar negotiations?
Thanks in advance.
