My lease (1 bed apt) expires at the end of September. Cheapest renewal options are 11 and 12 month terms (both having same rent amount). After negotiating a bit they offered a 9 dollar/month discount but only for the 11 month option.

11 months would make my renewal date end of Aug next year instead of end of Sept but would save me $9/month for that year.

Some people told me to keep it in September as its closer to end of peak season while others told me just take the discount because theres not much difference between Aug and Sept. Im worried the leasing office will take advantage next year and raise my rent alot and refuse to negotiate because its "August".
