    make sure to investigate on daft.ie for how much similar properties are being rented in the same area... that's really what drives the rental market.

    You can always ask at the end of visit how flexible is he on the rent, then you'll see from his reaction if there is room for you to make him a lower offer.

    I recently negotiated to get my rent lower and I was surprised at how willing the landlord was.I think these days they often have little choice but to take what they got.It was also a little easier for me as I was going through an agency and the agent explained to the landlord about lowering the rent to be more competitive.Though I think the landlord respected the advice of the agent more than me just asking for a reduction!.
