W: Hello.
M: Hi. I’m calling about the ad for the apartment found in today’s newspaper.
W: Okay. What would you like to know?
M: First of all, how big is it?
W: It’s a two-bedroom apartment with a living room, dining room and kitchen, and one bathroom. There’s also a place for a washer and dryer.
M: Okay, and how old is the apartment complex?
W: Well, let’s just say it has a lot of history. To be honest, my great grandfather built it during the 1960s, but it’s a very sturdy and sound structure.
M: Oh, and is the apartment furnished at all?
W: Yeah. The apartment is partially furnished with a refrigerator, a stove, and a dishwasher.
M: Okay. What’s the rent?
W: It’s $650 a month.
W: Wow. That is a little steep for me.
M: But you could always split the cost with a roommate.
M: Perhaps. Well, can I rent month-to-month, or do I have to sign a lease for a longer period of time?
W: We require a 6-month commitment for the apartment, and if you cancel the agreement anytime during that period, you lose your deposit.
M: Oh, and how much is the deposit?
W: It’s $400, and, of course, this money is used to repair damage or general wear and tear on our apartment, like the leaks in the roof.
M: Do I get my deposit back after I move out?
W: Generally speaking, we return the deposit, minus a small fee for, you know, cleaning the apartment for the next tenant, but if you trash the place, then don’t expect to get anything back.
M: Okay. Um... how close is the apartment to the university campus?
W: It’s about eight blocks from campus, but you can catch a number of busses right out in front.
M: Okay, and one last question. Are pets allowed?
W: Well, you can keep small pets like a hamster in a small cage, but we don’t allow larger animals like dogs, cats, or snakes. Things like that.
M: Well, I have a rat that I keep in a cage. Will that be okay?
W: Well, as long as it doesn’t escape, I guess that’s okay.
M: Is it possible for me to drop by and visit the apartment tomorrow morning?
W: Sure, but just remember we rent the apartment on a first-come, first-serve basis, so there’s no guarantee it’ll still be available then.
M: Okay. Thanks. Um... and where exactly is the apartment located?
W: It’s one block west of the waste water treatment plant. Call me again when you arrive.
M: Alright, Thank you. I’ll see you tomorrow. Bye.
W: Bye.
