-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 security deposit, and the first month's rent in advance. -I'll get the deposit back, wont 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!
