I don’t think I have much negotiation leverage since my skills are
common and I don’t provide any extra value. I wouldn’t try to negotiate
very hard and would focus on work flexibility since that matters a lot
to me and doesn’t cost anything to the company, and would give up some
money as leverage if needed.

I still know my worth even though I don’t have a lot of freelance

not being greedy, nor selling myself short.

I would ask to speak with the landlord about the situation. I would
negotiate that when it is time to renew there would be no chance I would
renew my lease if the repairs were not made. Leaving bad reviews would

I largely just want the property manager to fix any damage. Things
happen, and I’m pretty forgiving. I just don’t want to shoulder
financial costs when it’s not my property. I would ask for repairs, and
maybe some pest services, and be happy with that.

I would personally setup mice traps myself to capture the mice to help
reduce any damage. I would then talk with the representatives of the
property management company and have them fix the hole in the wall and
also take a look at the radiator to see why there was water damage to
begin with. I would also ask for credit for damages done with the whole
situation.

I’d focus on the 2 things I want and listen to what they want. If

I would would want to get the problem solved right away because not only
are mice dirty and leave droppings everywhere they are now destroying
the food I buy. My reaction would be disgust because I just signed a 1
year lease and do not want to have to deal with this the whole time. I
would try to get the property manager to fix it right away and if he did
not comply within a month or less I would try to solve the problem
myself since I do not want to break my lease.

I’m very content with the services you have given to me the past few
years. But until now I have had some pest infestation in my house and I
don’t intend on moving so I would like to draw your attention so you get
it fixed. I know there are damages caused by this incident but I wont
consider that. Just get the infestation fixed, Thank you

I would talk with him about the problem and show the damage. If he is
not forthcoming with a remedy, I would then tell him I plan to take the
landlord to housing court to get relief. If that still does not work,
then I have no other recourse but to sue for the physical damages, plus
punitive damages.

I would be quite frustrated because now I have to deal with a problem
that can potentially get worse if the problem is not solved immediately.
What I would do is come up with a band-aid solution, and take pictures

the landlord and try to have them give me a discount on my rent until it
is fixed.

The key to being an effective negotiator is to be creative in your
variables. i will introduce other variables into the negotiation. Yes,
the price will always be important, but some other things can be
important too. Price wasn’t the only factor you considered. Negotiations
are the same. Before your next negotiation, write down the variables:
The things you want and the things you are willing to give. Have at
least s
