ann: and when would you like to move in?
bill: on the first of the month.
ann: okay. are there any other amenities which you would like to have? for example, a dishwasher, a balcony, a swimming pool or central air conditioning?
bill: i would definitely like to have a dishwasher, and with summers like these, central air! a balcony is not that important. oh, yes, and two bathrooms would be nice.
ann: okay. here are photos of the apartments we have available which fit your preferences.
bill: thank you. this one on broadway avenue looks nice. i would like to see that one. and the one on main street.
ann: sure. let me get the keys and we will go look at them. if you choose to rent one of them, we will need a damage deposit of $250. you will be responsible for all the utilities. you can sign a lease today, if you like.
bill: great! thank you.
