A: This is a great apartment. B: I'm glad you found it to your liking. A: I knew I would, judging from the description I read. B: Are you ready to discuss payment? A: Yes, I think I am. B: You will have to pay for the security deposit. A: Security deposit? What is that for? B: It's simply money you give to me as a kind of insurance in case you cause any damage to the apartment. A: I understand. That makes sense. B: So are you ready to pay the deposit? A: How much are you asking? B: It's at least $1,000 for the security deposit. A: Alright, I could provide that much. B: Perfect! I think we are ready to sign the lease.
