This is the kind of conversation that can take place between a tourist and an apartment owner regarding the issue of renting an apartment.
It's a very nice flat. Thank you for showing me it. Can I ask you some questions, please? Is the electricity included in the rent?
No, electricity is separate. It is not usually very expensive. You will receive a bill once every three months, I think.
What about the water bills?
That is included - I pay the water costs.
Ok. In my last flat, the landlord provided linen for the beds. Do you as well?
Provide linen? No, of course I don’t. Surely you have your own linen? This is a rented flat, not a hotel.
I see. I don’t have any of my own furniture. Will you provide the furniture?
Yes, what you see here is what you will have. There’s a good bed in the bedroom, and the kitchen is well-equipped. I will also let you have the television. It is not a very good television - it is a little old. But it works.
I will probably take the bus to university from here. Is there a bus stop close to the house?
Yes, just down on the corner. It goes straight to the university in about ten minutes. You should take the number 20 bus or the number 16.
I am enrolled on a very difficult course. I will have to work very hard this year. Is there a library nearby?
All the students spend too much time in the library. Yes, there is a library. I have never been there, but I think it is at the end of this street. But you have a nice desk here. When I was a student, I spent very little time in the library. I went to lots of parties instead.
Are there any clubs or discos here?
That's what I like to hear! There are lots of good clubs. About five minutes’ walk from here is the best club in town. The DJ comes from London. But it has all changed since I was a student. The music is very different, and I don’t like it very much.
Can I bring guests back?
Of course. You can even have parties if you like. But be careful - I don’t want you to damage the house. And if you are too noisy, the neighbors will complain to me.
I am thinking of buying a cat. Would you mind if I kept a cat here?
Oh, I don’t like cats! They are very smelly creatures. No, please don’t buy a cat. If you must have a pet, then buy a dog. They are much nicer animals.
How do you want me to pay?
Monthly. The rent is two hundred pounds a month.
Do you require a deposit?
The deposit is one month’s rent. If the flat is in good condition when you leave, I will return deposit.
And what is the minimum lease period?

It's included - I pay for the water.
Fine. In my last apartment, the owner provided bed linen. Do you also provide?
Do I provide linen? No, of course I don't do that. Surely you have your own bed linen. This is a rental apartment, not a hotel.
It's clear. I don't have any furniture of my own. Do you provide furniture?
Yes, everything you see here is what you will have. The bedroom has a good bed, the kitchen is well equipped. I will also provide you with a TV. It's not a very good TV, it's a bit old. But it works.
Perhaps I will travel from here to the university by bus. Is there a bus stop near the house?
Yes, just around the corner. From there you can drive directly to the university in just 10 minutes. You should take the twentieth or sixteenth bus.
I entered a very difficult course. I will have to work very hard this year. Is there a library nearby?
All students spend too much time in the library. Yes, there is a library here. I've never been there, but I think it's at the end of this street. Although, you have an excellent desk here too. When I was a student, I spent very little time in the library. Instead, I went to numerous parties.
Are there any clubs or discos here?
This is what I wanted to hear! There are many good clubs here. About a five minute walk from here is best club in the city. The DJ is coming from London. But everything has changed since I was a student. The music is very different and I don't really like it.
Can I bring guests?
Certainly. You can even host parties if you want. But be careful, I don't want you to damage the house. And if you make too much noise, the neighbors will complain to me.
I'm thinking about buying a cat. Would you mind if I keep the cat here?
Oh, I don't like cats! They are very odorous animals. No, please don't buy a cat. If you really need to have a pet, then buy a dog. They are nicer animals.
How do you want me to pay?
Monthly. The fee is two hundred pounds a month.
Do you need a deposit?
The deposit is equal to one month's rent. If the apartment is in good condition when you move out, I will return your deposit.
What is the minimum rental period?
– Oh Gosh! I didn’t even know that hunting for an apartment could be so tough!
– Are you going to rent an apartment?
– Yes. As soon as possible. I have to find a new place as my lease expires next week. First I checked all the classified websites regarding a property but I couldn’t find anything in my price range. I can’t afford an expensive property now. Then I found real estate listings in newspapers, but the apartments I saw were just awful to my mind. They are old, run-down and not well-maintained.
– I understand. And what's your price range? Do you have any special location in mind?
– Well, I expect to pay something around $1000 a month. Anything under this price will do. As for the location – I need a place near my office. So I could save a good amount on commuting.
– But the district where you work is a plush one. And the property is quite expensive here. How will you manage the rent alone? Don’t you want to look for a roommate to divide the cost of renting?
– That’s also a good option. I have to think about it.
– I guess I have a couple of options for you. A friend of mine is subletting his studio apartment for 6 months while he travels in America. He's got a beautiful apartment. It’s fully furnished and has a large balcony overlooking the park.
– That sounds great. It’s a pity that the apartment will be available only for several months. I’m planning to move in for 2 years at least.
– OK. I get the point. There is another vacant place near your office. It’s rather spacious with an upscale neighborhood.
– Has it got all the utilities?
– Well, the building itself was recently renovated and it’s well-maintained. All the apartments have an intercom and the doors are highly secure. The apartment definitely has electricity, gas, water and heating. I’m not sure about a washing machine or a dish-washer. We have to ask the landlord about the details.
– If it’s not over my budget I am ready to see it today.
– As far as I know to move in you will need to pay the first and the last month’s rent plus a security deposit that you will get it back at the end of your lease if the apartment is in good condition.

- Oh my God! I didn't even know apartment hunting could be so hard!
– Are you going to rent an apartment?
- Yes. As soon as possible. I need to find a new place as my lease expires next week. I first checked all the real estate listing sites but couldn't find anything within my price range. I can't afford expensive housing now. Then I found a property listing in the newspapers, but the apartments I looked at were just terrible in my opinion. They are old, dilapidated and unkempt.
- I understand. What is your price range? Are you looking for a special location?
– Well, I hope to pay about $1000 a month. Anything less than this price will do. As for the location, I need a place near the office. This way I can save a good amount on travel.
– But the area where you work is prestigious. And housing here is quite expensive. How will you pay the rent on your own? Would you like to find a roommate to split the cost of rent?
- It is too a good option. I need to think about this.
“I think I have a couple options for you.” My friend is renting out his studio apartment for 6 months while he travels around America. He has a beautiful apartment. Fully furnished, it has a large balcony overlooking the park.
- Sounds great. It's a pity that the apartment will only be available for a few months. I plan to move in for at least 2 years.
– OK. I understand. There is still a free place next to your office. It is quite spacious, with wealthy surroundings in the neighborhood.
– Are there all the amenities there?
– Well, the building itself was recently restored, it is very well maintained. All apartments have a two-way communication system and high-strength doors. The apartment definitely has electricity, gas, water and heating. I'm not sure about the washing machine or dishwasher. You will need to check with the owner for details.
– If it doesn’t exceed my budget, then I’m ready to watch it today.
– As far as I know, in order to move into it, you need to pay the first and last month of rent plus a security deposit, which you will receive back at the end of the lease if the apartment remains in good condition.
