Rebecca: | Hey, Diego, I hear you've got a room available. |
Diego: | Yes, my roommate’s moving away for two months because he got an internship in the city. |
Rebecca: | Oh, wow, so you've got one room spare for somebody for two months. |
Diego: | Yes. |
Rebecca: | OK. I'm actually moving home and I need to move out of the house that I'm in. |
Diego: | OK. When would you be moving out of your house? |
Rebecca: | Next week. |
Diego: | Next week! OK. |
Rebecca: | Could I rent a room? |
Diego: | Well, my roommate’s going away in five days so I think it's possible. |
Rebecca: | So what would the rent be? |
Diego: | Well, I was actually thinking of splitting it with my roommate. His room is going to stay empty, but might be interested in leasing his room to you for a month, so you can work out the details with him. |
Rebecca: | OK, so how much do you pay? |
Diego: | We're paying 650 dolllars. |
Rebecca: | Per month? |
Diego: | Yeah, but there's two rooms. I have the bigger room so I pay 350 and the smaller room pays 300 dollars. |
Rebecca: | OK, so I would take the smaller room for 300 dollars per month? |
Diego: | Yes, plus utilities like internet, water. |
Rebecca: | Oh, that would be great, OK, so it would just be the rent and that was it. |
Diego: | And utilities and your own groceries. |
Rebecca: | So, OK, so with food arrangement, do you we cook together? Do we buy the food together or separately? |
Diego: | Well, it depends up to you, but what I usually did with my roommate is we buy food for a week and we just cook together. I usually do all the cooking, so I can still do that but you have to do the dishes, and we can go from there. |
Rebecca: | OK, so the condition is that I do the dishes... |
Diego: | If I cook, you do the dishes. If you cook, I do the dishes. Yeah. |
Rebecca: | OK, so you like cooking obviously. |
Diego: | Yeah, I really enjoy cooking. |
Rebecca: | Are you a good cook? |
Diego: | Yeah, I've been told that. |
Rebecca: | So, OK, so for one month, I can move in to a room for three hundred dollars and then just extra for utilities, and you've got wireless internet? |
Diego: | Yes. |
Rebecca: | OK. |
Diego: | No, pets are allowed in my my building so... |
Rebecca: | That's OK, I don't have any pets. |
Diego: | OK, just making sure. |
Rebecca: | Is there a big closet? I do have a lot of clothes. |
Diego: | Yeah, there's a closet big enough for your clothes. |
Rebecca: | OK, great. Awesome. |
Diego: | There's not a lot of storage space so only for your clothes, like... |
Rebecca: | OK, so clothes put in... yep. |
Diego: | Yeah. |
Rebecca: | OK. Great. Well, can I take the room? Or do I contact you? |
Diego: | We can meet up tomorrow and discuss it with my roommate but I'm pretty sure you can take the room. Yes. |
Rebecca: | OK, awesome. I would love to move in with you. |
Diego: | OK, well, I'll see you tomorrow at 8 o'clock. |
Rebecca: | OK, thank you. |
Diego: | Bye |
