Hi, this looks like a nice place.  How many bedrooms/baths does it have?
Hi, it is an absolutely beautiful place in the heart of beautiful Rockridge!  You are within walking distance of many great stores and restaurants!  It has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. 
I see you are asking for a year lease.  Are the utilities covered in this price?
Yes, a one year lease and all utilities are covered in the price. 
I'm interested in signing a lease but I just started a new job so my budget is tight.  What is the least you would accept for this beautiful place?
I completely understand!  If you are truly interested and can sign a lease within the next week, the lowest I can go is $2600.  
That's still more than I wanted to pay for a place.  I can sign asap. Can you do $2300?
$2300 is much lower than I can accept.  How about $2500?
It will be a strain but I think I can do $2500
Okay, great!  You'll love this place!
