Buyer: Hello I'm interested in your apartment. Can you tell me if an extra deposit is required?
Seller: We do require a deposit based on your credit up to 1 months rent plus a $500 non-refundable deposit if you have cats.
Buyer: Okay that's possible. And utilities are they included?
Seller: We do include gas, electric, water and trash in the rental price.  There is also wi-fi available in the common areas.
Buyer: That's super. I'm really hoping we can come down on the price a bit. This is a great place it's just a little out of my comfortable budget at the moment. I'd be stretching it at this price. Are you willing to come down on the price?
Seller: Well we do have a special if you sign a 2 year lease we are offering $200 off your rent which would make it $2450.
Buyer: I really need it to be lower. Otherwise I'm going to be cutting into my essential needs like grocery budget.
Seller: Well what price were you looking for?
Buyer: In an ideal world where I don't have to struggle at all. It would be 1800 (in a super ideal world it would be 200 per month). 
Seller: Well I can't go quite that low, that is the price of our 1 bedrooms and this is a 3 bed 2 bath unit.  I will let you in on a little secret, this Saturday we are having a grand re-opening and running a special 2000 a month and no deposit on approved credit.  Would that work better for you?
Buyer: Yes that's possible. Do you really do this for a living? You are quite good at it. Thank-you.
