W: Hi, Mr. Brown. How’s your apartment working out for you?
M: Well, Ms. Nelson. That’s what I would like to talk to you about.
W: Is there any problem?
M: Well, I want to talk to you about the noise recently!
W: Oh...
M: Within the last week, almost every night, when the clock struck 9, some sort of rock-and-roll music just broke out loud. It was really too noisy. I couldn’t go to sleep even with my earplugs. [1] Would you mind talking to the tenant in 4B and ask him to keep his music down, especially after 10 o’clock at night?
W: Oh... Who? Me?
M: Yes. Why? The music is blaring almost every night, and it should be your job as a manager to take care of these things. Wouldn’t you agree?
W: [2]Hey, I just collect the rent. Besides, the man living there is the owner’s son, and he’s a big man.
M: But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t do anything. At least remind him politely of the noise. He may be a reasonable man.
W: Well... Alright, I’ll see what I can do. Is there anything else?
M: Yes. Could you talk to the owners of the property next door about the pungent odor drifting this way? I couldn’t help throwing up every time when I smelled it. It was disgusting. Really, really disgusting.
W: [3]Well, the area is zoned for agricultural and livestock use, so there’s nothing much I can do about that. I’m very sorry for that. Ah, some tenants will use perfume to cover this unpleasant smell. Maybe you can try that way as well.
M: Well, what about that noise?
W: What noise? I don’t hear anything.
M: There, there it is again.
W: What noise?
M: That noise.
W: Oh, that noise. [4]I guess the military has resumed its exercises on the artillery range.
M: You have to be kidding. Can’t anything be done about it? Am I still safe living here? It looks as if I lived in some kind of battlefield. Oh my god!
W: For sure, you’re pretty safe here.
M: Can we do something?
W: I’ve protested that this activity, and these weekly activities should cease... within the next three to five years.
M: What did you say? Weekly activities? Do you mean that such noise breaks out regularly every week?
W: I’ll see what I can do. Hopefully we can find a solution.
M: You never told me about these problems before I signed the rental agreement I think I had enough of it. I’m moving out tomorrow!
W: [5]Sir, if you move out that early, I’m afraid you can get back only a quarter of the $500 deposit. You’ve signed a 1-year commitment...
M: [5]Forget about the deposit.
