But hey, I'm not the one getting f*cked up the arse and bending over for it so what do I care.

how exactly do you propose we "chase down the price"? I'm not haggling over a piece of jewlery in a market in f*cking thailand, we're talking about rental costs for a house in an expensive tourist town. I'm well aware that things generally cost more in small tourist towns, especially ski towns, seeing as how I've spent well over half my time in the past 4 years in them. The owner refuses to go any lower, and it's not like it's her loss if we walk away. there are NO houses that are cheaper rent, and if we dont pay what this owner is asking, someone else will, and we'll be stuck paying way more to live in the cheapest hostel we can. I'm not "bending over for it", we have no choice in this matter. we can't threaten the owner that we wont take the house if she doesnt lower the cost, she won't give a f*ck. and like I said, there are no houses that are cheaper. trust me, we've looked.
