(Daniel has decided to take the apartment)

　　Manager: OK, here's the lease. Read it over before you sign it. As you can see, the deposit is $300.

　　Daniel: Oh, OK. I can get the money back when I move out, right?

　　Manager: Yes, assuming there is no damage to the apartment. Before you move in, you should make a list of marks, scratches, and so forth that are already there.

　　Daniel: You won't raise the rent until the lease has expired, right?

　　Manager: I won't. That is one of the clauses in the lease.

　　Daniel: OK. If there is to be an increase in the rent, please inform me at least one month before the lease expires.

　　Manager: Sure, no problem.

　　Daniel: Here is the signed lease and the check for the deposit.

　　Manager: Thank you. You can move in next Monday. Your first month's rent is due then.

　　（丹尼尔已经决定要租这间公寓）

　　经理: 好的，房租契约在这里。在签字之前把它仔细阅读过一遍。你看到了，押金是300 美元。

　　丹尼尔: 哦，好的。我搬出去的时候可以把这钱收回来的，对吧？

　　经理: 是的，假如公寓没有损坏的话。你在搬进来之前，应该把这些原来就有的污痕，刮伤等列一张清单。

　　丹尼尔: 一直到房租契约到期之前，你都不会涨租金，对吧？

　　经理: 我不会的。那是房租契约里的一项条款。

　　丹尼尔: 好的。如果要涨房租，请在租期到期前至少提早一个月通知我。

　　经理: 可以，没问题。

　　丹尼尔: 这是签好的房租契约和押金的支票。

　　经理: 谢谢你。你下周一就可以搬进来了。那时候你第一个月的房租就该交了。
