Here is a dialog from THIS SITE:

Agent: This is Elizabeth.

John: Yeah, I’m calling about any apartments you have available?

Agent: Great! What kind of apartment are you looking for?

John: Um, either a studio or a one-bedroom.

Agent: Okay. When are you looking to move?

John: Um, sometime this month would be good.

Agent: In July, or in the month of August?

John: Oh that’s right. Um, early part of August.

Agent: Early part of August – fantastic! I only have one one-bedroom that would be available, um, within the next couple of weeks here.

John: Okay, and how many, how many square feet is that?

Agent: It’s about six hundred square feet, it’s third floor, has a washer/dryer in the apartment… um, dishwasher and garbage disposal as well.

John: Is there a view from there?

Agent: Well, actually because of the location of the building you can see out into some of the courtyard and if you’re out on the deck you can see the Broadway Bridge and a little bit of the east side of Portland.

John: Okay, and what’s the rent on that?

Agent: It’s renting at eight hundred.

John: Eight hundred dollars.

Agent: Right.

John: And is, what kind of deposit is part of that?

Agent: It’s a security deposit anywhere between three hundred dollars and one month’s rent, depending on past rental credit and employment.

John: Okay, and any application fee?

Agent: Forty-dollar application fee per person.

John: Alright, and is it a twelve-month lease?

Agent: Six-month.

John: Six-month lease.

Agent: Yes.

John: And then after that month-to-month?

Agent: You can go month-to-month or you can resign. However you want to do that.

John: Okay, and when did you say that’d be available again?

Agent: It would be available anytime.

John: Okay, well, let me, uh, check around a little bit and maybe I’ll call you back to set up an appointment to look at it.

Agent: Sounds wonderful!

John: Thank you so much!

Agent: Great thank you!

John: Bye bye!

Agent: Bye!
