Woman: Hello, Andrew, isn't it?
Man: Hi. Yes, that's right. And you must be Mrs. Jones.
Woman: Yes, I am. But please call me Mary. Come in and I'll show you the apartment.
Man: Great. Thanks. I'll just make a few notes as we go around, if you don't mind.
Woman: That's fine. So first, a few general points, Andrew. You probably saw in the advert that the apartment is partly furnished.
Man: That's okay. I've got a bit of furniture myself
Woman: And also, please, 1pets are not permitted in the apartment.
Man: No problem. I don't have any.
Woman: Well, shall we start in the kitchen? It's through here.
Man: Oh, it's nice and big, isn't it?
Woman: Yes, a good size for one bedroom apartment. It's got everything you'll need. The dishwasher is quite old now, but it's very reliable. 2And I've just replaced the fridge so that's never been used.
Man: Great. It all looks really good.
Woman: Well, follow me through into the lounge, Andrew. Here we are.
Man: I like the wooden floor boards, but I might want to put down a rug on the floor as well, if that's okay.
Woman: Oh, yes, of course.
Man: I've also got lots of books.
Woman: Well, as a matter of fact, 3I've just arranged for a builder to come and put up a set of shelves on that wall there. So that'll be convenient for your books.
Man: That'll be great. Then, is that the bedroom through there?
Woman: Yes, that's right. Come through.
Man: There's a nice big wardrobe and the chest of drawers.
Woman: Yes, plenty of storage.
Man: 4But if I wanted a lamp beside my bed, I guess I'd need to provide that myself.
Woman: 4Yes, you would.
Man: That's no problem. I've got one that I do.
Woman: And then this is the bathroom. It's only a small space, so there's no bath, just a shower
Man: 5And the water heating, that looks like it's gas, right?
Woman: Yes. Electricity is more expensive in my view.
Man: You're probably right.
Man: Well, I really like the apartment, Mary, and I'd like to take it, if that's okay with you.
Woman: Yes, absolutely Andrew, I'd be delighted. So why don't we have a look at the tendency form? We're supposed to fill that in together?
Man: Yeah, sure.
Woman: Now I've got a form here. So first of all, I need some of your details. What's your full name Andrew?
Man: It's Andrew Connaught. That's spelt 6C-O-N-N-A-U-G-H-T.
Woman: Great. Got that. And what's the best way to contact you, Andrew?
Man: Well, you've got my mobile number.
Woman: Yes, I know, but an email address would be good as well, in case I need to send you documents.
Man: Oh, right, I see. Well, my email is [email protected]. Spelt 7I-NT-E-R-G-L-O-B-E.
Woman: Great. Okay. Thanks. Then I really need an identification number of some sort.
Man: Oh, dear. I haven't got my passport with me.
Woman: The driver's license number will do.
Man: Alright, I've got that. Hang on. It's 8E 738 2991 TP.
Woman: Right. Good. So, now just a few tendency details. When would you like to move in?
Man: Well, as soon as possible really
Woman: Right. Well, like I mentioned, there's a builder coming that's on the 4 April. So, really, anytime after that's fine.
Man: The 4th is a Friday, isn't it? And that weekend, I'm going away. So how about the 97 April?
Woman: Yes, that works well. Now you'll have seen from the advertisement that the rent is $315 per week.
Man: Yes, that's okay.
Woman: And there's also a bond to pay before you move in. It's like a deposit, and you'll get it back at the end of your tenancy.
Man: How much is that
Woman: Well I try to be reasonable, a typical bond for a one bedroom in this part of the city is $500, 10but I only ask for $450.
Man: Okay, that should be fine.
Woman: Now what I'll do, Andrew, is email you my bank account details, and you can transfer the amount.
