Pushing back on a rent increase

Your landlord wants to raise the rent by 9% on renewal. You want to counter with 3%. Brief an AI to write the email.

Difficulty: Intermediate · Genre: Negotiate

The scenario

You: 3 years in the apartment, perfect payment record, two minor unfinished repairs in the place.
Market: similar units in the area renew at 3-5% this year.
Landlord: corporate management company, responds to written requests.

The goal

An AI should draft a polite-but-substantive email referencing your tenure, market rates, the open repairs, and a counter at 3% — leaving the door open at 5%.

What a strong brief covers

Should include: tenure, payment history, comparable market data, the open repairs, your counter number, your fallback, and a respectful tone.
