Twent Eight (Getting things fixed) On the phone with the landlord
Tenant: Hi, Mrs. Rogers. This is Steve, your tenant in apartment thirteen. Mrs. Rogers: Hi, Steve. I haven’t seen you for a long time. T: Well, I’ve been busy. R: What can I do for you? T: There are some problems in the apartment. The faucet in the kitchen is leaking. R: OK. I’ll send the plumber tomorrow to take a look at it. Anything else? T: Yes. The heater isn’t working well. R: They still haven’t fixed it? I sent someone to look at it last week. T: I know. R: What’s wrong with it now? T: Well, it makes a lot of noise, and we only get a little heat. R: They should have fixed it the first time. I’ll call them again. T: Perfect. I’ll be here.
