Hi, you were interested in the place?
I really love the apartment. It has everything I am looking for. I was hoping that maybe you would be willing to negotiate the rent price. It is a little more than I can afford. I am trying to pay off all my student loans and I don't want to be penniless at the end of the month
Thank you. The place is really one of a kind with many nice perks including parking and storage. $2550 is what I'm willing to offer you. 
I know.. It is a beautiful place. That is still more than I can afford. I would be willing to keep the grounds. I am an avid landscaper and very good at all types of gardening and maintenance. I also am a fanatical cleaner and home decorator. I would keep the place pristine. I don't smoke, have pets, or party. COuld you possibly give it to me for $1924?
Thank you it really is. That's still a bit too low. All bills are included. I'm willing to do 2350 a month and pay utilities. 
$1924 was all I have budgeted. I could go to $2100 because I do love it so much  but I can't afford any more.
