Depends upon mutual agreement only.

Terms and conditions of any agreement, including the rental, are decided by the parties, here the land lord and tenant.

As such, you cant compare the rents.

If you want the Gr.Floor, you may leave the presently occupied premises after completion of its tenancy period and then go to the lower rented premises.
