Renting an Apartment
Lesson Goal: Learn how to listen carefully for important terms and conditions when talking to a landlord.
Listening for Conditions
Renting a place to live involves many rules and costs. When you speak to a landlord, you must listen carefully to understand what is included in the price, and what is extra.
Pay special attention when the speaker uses words like "separate", "require", or "deposit". These words indicate a condition or an extra cost that you must be prepared for!
