Housing: Do you have an apartment available?

Blanca makes a phone call to an apartment complex inquiring about the rent....


Blanca: Hello. I'm calling about the apartment you advertised.
Manager: Yes. What kind of apartment are you interested in?
Blanca: I'm interested in a one-bedroom. Do you have any available?
Manager: Yes. I have one. When do you need it?
Blanca: Sometime around next week. What can you tell me about this apartment?
Manager: Well, it's a one-bedroom apartment. The monthly rent is $650, with a $300 security deposit. You pay electricity only. Gas and water is included. Both the heat and stove are gas. You'll be assigned a sheltered parking space at no extra charge. And...that's probably it.
Blanca: Sounds good. May I come over tomorrow to take a look?
Manager: Sure. What time would you like to come?
Blanca: How about 10 AM?
Manager: Good. May I have your name, please?
Blanca: My name is Blanca.
Manager: Blanca. I'll see you tomorrow.
