New rent I offer her for lease extention is $1633. She ask for $1630. Market rent is $1750

Should I agree or should I say not to $3 discount she ask for.

I just find annoying and time consuming deal with such painful tenant . Am I wrong?

Hello Tina! It seems like you're considering a renewal, which suggests that these tenants have been responsible and reliable. In my experience,it's often wise to accept the situation and move forward. Over time, I've realized the importance of choosing battles wisely.

    $3 per month is not even worth thinking about. Just round down and call it a day. It'll give them a "win" in their eyes.

    Quote from @Tina Lee:

    I don't think they are trying to save $3 so they can afford another cup of coffee. I think they want a round number that's easy to remember.

    Her request sounds petty to you, but your request sounds petty to us. Just drop the $3 and be done with it. It's not enough to bother with.
