Task 2:Interviewing a Rental Agent
M: Hi. Are you Jane from the rental agency?
W: Yes. Nice to meet you. I take it you’re Tim.
M: Yeah. Well, I just started to look into moving off campus. It seems that all the good places are going fast.
W: That’s right; you gotta be quick. Let me tell you a little about this apartment. It’s a one bedroom, one living room apartment, with a bathroom and a kitchen. The furnishings are all new. There are hardwood floors, these large windows in the front, and it tends to be a quiet neighborhood.
M: And how about the transportation?
W: Well, from the bus stop down the block you can always catch buses onto campus, or into the city.
M: Ok. How about the rent?
W: The rent is $300 per month.
M: Is there a security deposit?
W: Yes. You must first pay the security deposit, which is one month’s rent, and the last month’s rent. Then, normal monthly payment begins.
M: And, would mind if I have a roommate?
W: Of course not! Whatever you like.
M: Well, the place looks good. I’ll definitely be in touch.
W: Ok. Here’s my business card. Give me a call if you have any questions.
M: Will do.
