Buyer: Hey, can you tell me a little more about the apartment's lease terms? Are they negotiable? I'm a Stanford student and we're on the quarter system, so I would need the lease to continue through the end of June instead of the end of May.
Seller: I think we could work something out.  It's only a 30 day extension correct?
Buyer: Yes, that's correct.
Seller: Will you still want to move in August?
Buyer: Could I move in September instead? Our classes don't start until mid-September. 
Seller: September 1 to August 31 I could make that work.  Will it be just for yourself?
Buyer: Awesome. I've got three Stanford friends with me, so they'd be in the other bedrooms and would also move in on September 1.
Seller: ok.  will you be able to afford $1998 per person per month?
Buyer: Honestly that amount is a lot more than I'm comfortable with, since I'm on student loans. But since you're willing to change up the lease terms regarding move-in and move-out date, I can be a little flexible. Could you do $7000 from all four of us, per month?
Seller: I can do $7095 per month and all four of you will have to fill out a rental application.  I will go ahead and waive the $35 credit check for each person.  That will save you all $140 on the application process.
Buyer: Ok that works. Thanks so much.
Seller: sure no problem
