How to Negotiate with a Landlord who wants to increase the price of my apartment lease

My landlord is asking for a 50% increase in my rent. However, my contract caps the increase to 10%. He's not budging. After the first negotiation, he went down to 40%. What are the next steps I should take?

1. Offer to buy the apartment

You can offer, "I'll give you $100k over what you paid for it" plus some extra for the furniture. Then you would own your apartment and pay yourself rent. You have to be able to afford this (or get a mortgage). But if you are paying $2,000 a month in rent now, then in 10 years you will have paid $120,000 in rent. If you buy the place for $200,000 more than he paid for it then after 10 years (when the lease expires) you will have made back your initial investment of $100,000 and all the rent payments after that would be pure profit.
