there are ways to lower your rent but it can be difficult. First, discuss with your landlord why you feel it SHOULD be lower. If it is because you NEED it to be then that is your problem not his and you should move to what you can afford. If that is not the case then there are several alternatives...
1. Landlords are longterm investors. If you are willing to commit to a longer term lease they may be willing to lower the rent.

2. If there are services you are willing to put in your name instead of theirs or do without they may be willing to lower the rent.

3. If you can convince him that the cost of repairs and remodeling along with the time it is vacant will cost him much more than lowering your rent he may go along with that.

4. If the utility costs or real estate taxes have been reduced on the property you may be able to convince him to lower the rent.

5. If you offer to make improvements to the property that remain after you go he may be willing to lower the rent.

6. He may agree to lock your rent at its present rate for several years into the future so as you benefit more the longer you stay and he doesn't have to lower the rent but agrees not to increase it or time so you both benefit.

You get the idea. Nothing can force him to lower the rent but if he is interested in a long term tenant he may consider these.

You could offer to do repairs around the property. They may knock off your labor say $10 an hour.

Doubtful for a lowering of the rent, but they may keep it stable, if you've been a good long term renter, and paid on time and didn't break alot of things.

Maybe you could get a roomate/housemate to help, see if the landlord is ok with that.

Good luck, but before you cuss out your landlord for raising the rent, remember that he has insurance and taxes and alot of expenses going up every year too.
