7
70620
6780
01:20
excellent as I told you before we  have a flat here it's available
8
80340
6900
01:30
I think we need to start with what is the  price range you're looking in can I know
9
90060
7440
01:40
I'm not sure because I am not from this country  for the two days I stayed in the other apartment  
10
100260
7860
01:49
I paid like 150 dollars that's the  only reference I have I'm sorry
11
109980
7680
01:59
I see well it's different to rent an  apartment for two days and for months
12
119880
7740
02:09
yeah don't worry I know that perfectly you  can tell me a little about this apartment
13
129780
6780
02:19
all right but first just for you  to have an idea about the price
14
139320
7320
02:28
the apartment usually costs one thousand  dollars per month is that okay for you
15
148680
8040
02:39
I cannot afford it can you please show me  an apartment that falls within my budget
16
159120
7020
02:49
and that's why I asked you for your budget  first don't worry we'll find a solution
17
169140
6960
02:58
oh I remember now we have a one  bedroom apartment here in this building
18
178680
6780
03:08
but it is a shared bathroom so you will have  to share the bedroom with three more people
19
188220
7020
03:18
it is not the most beautiful apartment but I  guess it is enough for you what do you think
20
198300
7500
03:28
Oh and about the price this apartment  cost three hundred dollars per month
21
208440
7140
03:38
the price is good but I don't want to share the  bathroom it is not an apartment it's just a room  
22
218100
8220
03:48
yeah it's more like a room let me see oh  I have another flat here in this building
23
228000
7260
03:57
it has one bedroom a small living room  a kitchen a small balcony and a bathroom
24
237480
6660
04:07
that sounds great but how much does  that apartment cost is it expensive
25
247320
7620
04:17
let me check oh you can rent it for just  seven hundred dollars that's a good price
26
257100
7440
04:27
it is but I have some questions what  about water supply and electricity
27
267360
7080
04:37
you don't have to worry about that it has  24 7 electricity back up and water supply
28
277440
6960
04:46
but does the rent include utilities  water electricity TV internet  
29
286920
8160
04:56
all included except for the internet  you will have to pay 50 dollars for that
30
296760
6960
05:06
and that's okay I think and what are the  other facilities available does it have some
31
306300
7920
05:16
well it has a small swimming pool on  the yard but people never use that
32
316380
6900
05:25
you can use the yard the waiting area the  grill area what else I think that's all
33
325740
7740
05:35
excellent Which floor the apartment  is on is there an elevator
34
335820
6960
05:45
the apartment is located on the third floor  and no there is no elevator in this building
35
345060
6960
05:55
okay I think third floor is not bad  this department rented fully furnished  
36
355380
7740
06:05
actually the apartment is fully furnished  it has a couch bed two chairs table  
37
365040
8040
06:14
but you will have to pay an extra warranty  for the furniture um fifty dollars
38
374700
7500
06:24
yeah I think that's fair and tell me something  is it close to a subway station or a bus stop  
39
384720
8700
06:34
sure you will see a bus stop right in front of you  and for the train you will have to walk two blocks  
40
394920
8160
06:44
fantastic oh this is a very important  question am I allowed to have a pet
41
404580
7320
06:54
I have a little dog I always travel with  him his name is Terrace is that okay
42
414900
7020
07:04
look as long as you don't make too much  noise I think you can keep your pet with you
43
424680
7320
07:14
no he isn't noisy he's very  quiet thank you so much what else  
44
434400
7560
07:23
oh how's the neighborhood around the  apartment is it quiet or dangerous
45
443880
6540
07:33
this neighborhood is very quiet  you won't have any problems here
46
453660
6120
07:43
in any case it is always good to take precautions  and not be out too late do you understand
47
463260
7680
07:53
yes I suppose so is smoking allowed in the  apartment I don't smoke but I'm planning to  
48
473460
11460
08:04
tell my friends to visit me and they  sometimes smoke is there any problem
49
484920
5940
08:13
no I'm sorry you or in this case your friends  are not allowed to smoke in the apartment
50
493200
7320
08:22

51
502800
