You gotta know how to negotiate with these crystal city buildings - mainly by just moving from one to another yearly. Sometimes just changing apt in the same building with the new lease is cheaper than staying in current one.

In this situation (identical apartment, different floor, 25% lower rent than my renewal offer), I asked my building manager to match the rent in my offer and they did. I made a simple argument that it would be wasteful not to (I spend money for movers, they spend for cleaners). I feel lucky now.

This is very true. My rent is pretty much the same as it was in 2010 because I’ve done this.
