M: That is it I know that it is smaller than you wanted, but it is one of the nicest apartments in the building.
W: Does it have three bedrooms?
M: No. There are two. The master bedroom is quite large, though. Maybe you could let the children share the larger room, and you and your husband could use the smaller one.
W: I suppose I could do that.
M: A three-bedroom apartment will be difficult to find.
W: Yes, I have been looking for over a week The few three-bedroom apartments that I have found are either extremely expensive or the owner won’t allow children.
M: Well, the owner allows two children in this apartment complex.
W: Aren’t you the owner?
M: No. I am the manager. I live here, too, on the first floor of this building.
W: Oh. That’s nice. Then if anything gets broken...?
M: Just leave a note on my door.
W: You said that the rent would be $350 a month. Does that include any of the utilities?
M: Yes. It includes gas. Your furnace and stove are gas, so, as you can imagine, your other utilities, electric and water, are quite inexpensive.
W: It sounds better and better. But before I sign a lease I would like my husband to see it.
M: Why not stop by with him this evening?
W: How late are you open? He doesn’t get off work until five.
M: Come by at six. I will still be in the office. I am sure that you are eager to move from the hotel, and if we get the paperwork out of the way tonight, you can move in tomorrow.
W: Oh, that would be wonderful.
