-------Lesson Dialog-------

----Formal ----

Helle: Nå, hvad siger du til lejekontrakten? Er du tilfreds indtil videre?

Johan: Ja, lejen er inklusive el, vand og varme. Men jeg betaler selv for Internet og tv.

Helle: Får man vasket trappen, eller skal beboerne skiftes til at vaske den?

Johan: Jeg skal have læst den del ordentligt senere. Jeg kan vel også få dig til det?

Helle: Er det svært at få kæmpet sig igennem paragrafferne? Hvad står der under 'Inventar'?

Johan: Der er vaskemaskine!!! Og man må holde husdyr! Så kan I få passet hunden.

Helle: Så behøver du ikke at få ordnet vasketøj derhjemme. Fik du aftalt en dato for indflytningssynet?

Johan: Det bliver dagen efter indflytningen. Jeg håber, jeg kan få nogle til at hjælpe.

Helle: Jeg er lettet over, at udlejeren står for både den indvendige og udvendige vedligeholdelse.

Johan: Ja, men jeg bekymrer mig lidt om depositummet og den forudbetalte leje.

Helle: Svarer depositummet ikke bare til tre måneders leje?

Johan: Jo, men det gør den forudbetalte leje også, så indbetalingen svarer til 6 måneders leje i alt.

Helle: Velkommen til voksenlivet, min dreng!

----Formal English----

Helle: So, what do you think about the tenancy agreement? Are you satisfied so far?

Johan: Yes, the rent includes electricity, water, and heating. But I have to pay for the Internet and tv myself.

Helle: Do you get the stairs washed, or do the residents take turns washing them?

Johan: I need to read that part properly later. I guess I can have you read it too?

Helle: Is it hard struggling through the paragraphs? What does it say under "Inventory items?"

Johan: There's a washing machine!!! And you can keep pets! So I can look after the dog.

Helle: Then you don't have to get your laundry done at home. Did you arrange a date for the move-in inspection?

Johan: It'll be on the day after moving in. I hope I can get some people to help.

Helle: I'm relieved that the landlord is responsible for both the interior and exterior maintenance.

Johan: Yes, but I'm a little worried about the deposit and the prepaid rent.

Helle: Isn't the deposit just the equivalent of three months' rent?

Johan: Yeah, but so is the prepaid rent, so the payment is the equivalent of 6 months' rent in total.

Helle: Welcome to adulthood, my boy!
