They won't negotiate. You signed the lease, agreeing to pay that amount.
You're paying a higher price because at the time that you moved in, many other people were also looking for an apartment. So the price is going to be higher since so many people wanted it.
Once we hit October 31st, the demand drops and doesn't pick up again generally until April or so. Even more so in the summer.
People with children want to be settled before school starts, students want to be ready for college, and the weather in general is nicer to deal with a move.
A vacant apartment right now might sit vacant all winter, at a tremendous loss to the landlord/company. That's why the price is lower now, to try to entice the few tenants who are looking at this point.
