looks like you ’ re not going to get more than a bedroom in a shared flat with that .
neutral

really ? That ’ s a lot of money to pay for one room .

well , if you want to live in London , you have to pay the price !

do you know of anyone who needs a roommate ?
neutral
assistant
I can ask around at work . Do you have a preference for makers or non-smokers ?
neutral
user
I ’ d prefer non-smoking roommates , but I guess I ’ ll have to take what I can get !
neutral
assistant
how long do you want to sign a contract for ?
neutral
user
I can sign a contract up to a year . I don ’ t know where I ’ ll be after that .
neutral
assistant
do you need a furnished or unfurnished apartment ?
neutral
user
I don ’ t have any furniture , so it ’ d be great if it were furnished .
neutral
assistant
you know that you ’ ll have to pay utilities on top of the rent , right ?
neutral
user
no , I thought that would be included in the rent .
neutral
assistant
it ’ s not usually included , so you ’ ll have to factor in about 100 pounds more each month for utilities .
neutral
user
I don't think I can afford that .
neutral
assistant
don ’ t worry . Sometimes people will give you a discount if you promise to do the clearing or take care of the children .
neutral
user
that's a good idea . I ’ ll look into finding something like that .
