Seller: Cinnamon apartments, may I help you?
Buyer: Hi, I am very interested in the apartments you have for rent.
Seller: Will it be just for you or are you going to be moving in with someone else?
Buyer: It would be me and my daughter she is 12.
Seller: Oh that's excellent. She'll love the neighborhood. I'm asking $2150 for a 2 bedroom with excellent light. 
Buyer: They sound really nice, are there any other amenities like a pool or anything like that?
Seller: Yes we have a community pool for the tenants, it's right in the center of the building, where most places have a courtyard. There is also a small gym near the laundry room.
Buyer: Oh wow nice!  Being a single mom and all the rent is just a little high for me, is it negotiable at all?
Seller: Let's see what we can do. Where are you coming from? Has your daughter been enrolled in school yet?
Buyer: Yes we already live in the area, that's why I'd like to keep her in the same district and the location of the apartments is perfect. I could afford $1978 for rent if that is possible. I'd be willing to take a smaller unit.
Seller: I'm sorry but I'll have to insist that you stay in a two bedroom. Those are the rules with children. It's very important to use all of the rooms as intended here at Cinnamon Apartments. However, you mentioned the pool earlier. Do you enjoy swimming?
Buyer: Yes we do. I would still like a 2 bedroom, but I'd be willing to do without the wall to wall closets and breakfast bar.
Seller: our only available units have both of those amenities. would you be willing to teach senior citizens water aerobics once a week?
Buyer: Sure, that sounds like something I could do.
Seller: great! I could tell you were into fitness. Yes we really need a leader for our troupe. We're called the Soaking Seniors and we haven't had a good workout in over a month! What can you pay again?
Buyer: I can afford around $1978 
Seller: That's perfect, we have a deal. Let me know what day and time you are able to hold the class. If you can maintain it then your rent can stay at 1978. The Seniors eat supper at 7 and go to bed at 8:30 so no latenight classes! 
Buyer: Awesome, thank you!
