Hey ASE learners! It's Lauren.

And today we're gonna learn some vocabulary for renting an apartment.
[13]
Hmmmm, this one looks good. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms...
[19]
But I need more information.
[23]
And I want to see it in person.
[37]
Sun Valley Apartments, this is Lindsay.
[40]
How can I help you?
[41]
Hi, I'm calling about your apartment at
[44]
138 Lincoln Street
[60]
Is that apartment still available?
[63]
Uh, yes it is. Are you interested?
[66]
Maybe. I have a few questions first.
[70]
Sure.
[71]
How much is the rent?
[78]
And how big is the apartment?
[82]
The unit rents for $900.
[85]
The renter is responsible for the gas and electric bill.
[95]
But we take care of the water, cable, and
[100]
high-speed Internet for you.
[107]
It's 900 square feet.
[111]
It's an open floor plan.
[118]
It feels very spacious.
[122]
It's 2 bedrooms 2 baths.
[127]
And there is hardwood floors throughout,
[134]
but there is carpet in the bedrooms.
[136]
It's a really wonderful unit.
[140]
Alright. Are the bathrooms...
[143]
Are they full or half baths?
[145]
Both bathrooms are full bathrooms,
[153]
with showerheads,
[158]
and a tub.
[164]
Can you tell me about the kitchen?
[166]
Yeah, all appliances are included:
[173]
the oven, gas stove, microwave, and fridge.
[179]
Alright, what about the washer and dryer?
[187]
Yeah there is a washer and dryer hookup;
[202]
you just have to provide the washer and the dryer.
[206]
Okay, just a few more questions.
[210]
No problem.
[212]
Is the heating system... is it gas or electric?
[216]
And is the apartment furnished?
[224]
The heating system is gas.
[226]
And it is an unfurnished apartment.
[232]
Can you tell me what the neighborhood is like?
[235]
Yeah, the neighborhood is really, really safe.
[237]
There's a lot of young professionals that live in this area:
[240]
18 to 30 years old.
[242]
Coffee shops, restaurants that are nearby.
[247]
Oh, I should also tell you about the parking.
[250]
You get one spot with your unit,
[254]
but there's a lot of street parking, as well.
[262]
Okay, is the reserved parking...
[271]
is that covered or uncovered?
[277]
It's covered parking.
[281]
Are you interested?
[283]
I could set up an appointment with you.
[285]
Yeah, that'd be great
[286]
Let's do Friday. Can we do Friday?
[289]
Oh great, Friday's great.
[292]
Let's do 9 o'clock.
[293]
Awesome.
[295]
If you find that you're interested while you're here,
[295]
let's do nine o'clock awesome if you
[297]
you can apply
[303]
while you're looking at the unit,
[306]
or you can apply online, later.
[309]
Do you require references?
[318]
We do require references:
[321]

[328]

[331]
