Hi, I heard you're looking for a different apartment.
Yeah. The place I'm in now is really terrible.
It was OK when I was there.
The boiler keeps breaking and when it does, we lose the heat for several days at the time.
Why doesn't the owner replace it?
Well, she said it's cheaper to keep fixing it. She is a nice enough person, just sort of stingy in any case. I'm sick of being cold.
Can you get your deposit back if you move?
If I give one-month notice, I can get the whole thing back.
So what kind of place are you looking for?
I think I'll try to get into one of those highrises near the university. There is nothing really special but at least they are new and functional.
I heard those buildings are pretty noisy. The walls are thin and you can hear everything going on in the other apartment.
Oh. That will never do. I need some place quiet to finish my thesis. I guess I'll have to look at some more ads. Maybe new isn't necessarily better.
Why don't you try some of those apartment at Windsor? They're supposed to be nice.
Oh, aren't they awfully expensive?
Not really. You'll he surprised at how reasonable some of them are. The problem with being out there is the bus doesn't run that way.
That definitely won't be a problem. I can afford a car right now. I guess I'd better check a few places here in the city before I make a decision.
