Chris | Hi Jordan, I'm really interested in the apartment. Can we discuss the rental terms? |
Jordan | Absolutely, Chris. The monthly rent is $1,200, which includes utilities. The lease is for one year. |
Chris | The rent sounds reasonable, but I'm not sure about a one-year lease. Is it possible to do a six-month lease to start? |
Jordan | I typically prefer a one-year commitment, but I can consider a six-month lease with a slightly higher rent. How does $1,250 sound? |
Chris | That's fair. Can we also talk about the security deposit? |
Jordan | Sure, the standard deposit is one month's rent. But given your situation, I'm willing to reduce it to half a month's rent. |
Chris | That would be really helpful, thank you. Is the apartment pet-friendly? I have a small dog. |
Jordan | Yes, pets are allowed. There's a one-time pet fee of $200 to cover any additional cleaning costs. |
Chris | That's understandable. One last question, is there parking available? |
Jordan | Yes, there's a parking space included with the apartment at no extra cost. |
Chris | Everything sounds great. I think we have a deal. Can I review the lease agreement? |
Jordan | Certainly. I'll email you the lease agreement today. Let's meet again once you've had a chance to review it. |
Chris | Perfect, I'll look out for your email. Thanks for being flexible with the terms. |
Jordan | My pleasure, Chris. I think you'll be happy here. I'll talk to you soon. |
