M: Hello?W: Hello, Sam. This is Paula Hanson, Sorry to bother you, but I'm having a small problem I thought you might be able to help me with.M: Sure, Paula. What's up?W: Well, you know Sarah and I moved into an off-campus apartment in the fall,on the west side of town. Any way, we've been happy with it until the past couple of months.M: Yeah. What happened?W: Well,the dishwasher broken down,so we reported it to Ms. Corners,the owner. She said she'd take care of it, but a month went by and nothing happened.M: Did you get back in touch with her?W: I got a repairperson to give me an estimate,and then I sent it to her. When I didn't hear from her,I had the repair done. And I deducted the cost from the rent check.M: So what's the problem?W: She called here madly. She said she could have gotten the repair done for less money. Now, she's threatening to expel us for not paying the full rent.M: Hold on, Paula. It does sound pretty serious. But I'm sure you can all sit down and work this out.W: Well,you're over at the law school. So, I wondered if you would mind coming with Sarah and me when we go to talk to Ms. Corners. We're supposed to meet with her tomorrow night at eight.M: Sure. I haven't studied a lot about contracts yet,but I'll be glad to help you straighten things out. Why don't I stop by about 7:30?W: Thanks Sam. You are our lifesaver.
