Rebecca: Hey, Diego, I hear you've got a room available.

Diego: Yes, my roommates 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 is going away if 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 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 coo?

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.
