Renting an Apartment (2)

租公寓 (2)
M = Manager　　R = Renter
An apartment manager is showing an apartment to a potential renter.
M: The mailboxes are right down there, and the laundry room with coin-operated washers and dryers is over there.
R: I see. Well, it's nothing spectacular, but it's pretty cheap for an apartment in a decent neighborhood... O.K., I think I'll take it.
M: All right, do you want to sign a nine-month or a one-year lease?
R: I think I'll sign a nine-month lease in case I decide not to go to summer school. I can extend it if I want to stay, can't I?
M: Sure. Just let us know before your lease expires. (to be continued)
公寓经理正向一位准备承租的人介绍公寓。
经　理：信箱就在那边，那儿的洗衣房有投币式洗衣机和烘干机。
承租人：嗯，那没啥特别，不过公寓在高级住宅区里这价钱是很便宜……好吧，我要租。
经　理：好啊，您想签九个月或一年的房契呢？
承租人：我想我就签九个月的房租以防万一我决定不念暑期学校。如果我想留下来时我可以延长租期，不是吗？
经　理：当然，只要在您在房租期满之前让我们知道就行了。
