I'm interested in the house you have for rent. How old is it?
Built in the 80s,the move in date is July 2017 and it's very spacious
It seems pretty ideal, but I am on a budget, and I have my eye on a few other places. I'm looking to spend closer to $1600, but I'm willing to negotiate on the price.
It's Fremont.  You can barely get yourself an apartment for $1600 that is centrally located like this.  At the asking price, it's quite a steal.
I'm sure it is. Money is tight for me, that's all. Will you accept $1920?
What I can do, is lower the asking price a bit and ask for 1/2 the deposit.  How does $2700 sound with only $1000 deposit.  We can also change it to month-to-month agreement, so you can leave anytime you want.  How does that sound?
I can do $2080 and the regular $2000 deposit price.
$2500 a month / $1000 deposit.  final offer. :)
Thank you, considering my math on the deposit was totally off. I must need more coffee, haha. I accept your offer of $2500.
I accept, enjoy the place.
