- Come on in, let me show you around. Here’s the living room. - Great! The view from this window is wonderful. - This is the kitchen. - It looks new. - Yes, we renovated just last year and replaced all the appliances. - Just look at all the closet space in the master bedroom! - Well, I’m sure you can fill these closets in no time. - Oh, come on, give me a break. I don’t have that much stuff. - And here’s the bathroom. - What did you say the rent was? - Thirteen hundred dollars a month. - Does that include utilities? - It includes heat, gas, and hot water. Electricity and telephone are extra. - When will the apartment be available? - On the first of the month. - We like it a lot, but we’ll have to think about it. Can we call you tomorrow? - Sure.
- Hello, Mr. Berger, this is Steve Heller. I’m calling about the apartment we looked at yesterday. We’d like to take it if it’s still available. - Great! - So, what’s the next step? - I’ll draw up a lease and send it to you. What I’ll need from you is one month’s rent as a security deposit, and the first month’s rent in advance. - I'll get the deposit back, won't I? - Of course, as long as the place is not damaged beyond the usual wear and tear when you move out. - Great! Can I send you a check? - Sure, a check will be fine. Just send it along with the lease after you’ve signed it. - Thanks. http://vk.com/usaenglishusa
