I suppose you’re good tenants, so you deserve to rent the property from good landlord. Yes, housing in SF in expensive nowadays. However, there are always options to negotiate the rental price with property owner. If your screening shows a good results, you will be in better position to negotiate the rent. The platform https://rentberry.com/custom-offers allows tenants to submit their offers to homeowner. So, you may offer your price without meeting landlord in person.

It was by far one of the most miserable experiences of my life. She was constantly spying on me and meddling in my business.
True Story: One day I was home and really was not in the mood to deal with her nagging so I ignored her and didn’t answer my door or phone. When she couldn’t get my attention ..she called the fire department and had them LITERALLY break my door down. I am still not sure what she told them to convince them to do that.
