A So this is the room. It's not huge, but it gets the morning sun.
B It's bigger than the last one I saw. Is the rent six hundred?
A Six hundred and twenty, and that includes water and internet. Electricity is separate.
B How much is electricity, more or less?
A We split it three ways. Last month I paid about twenty-five pounds.
B That's reasonable. And who else lives here?
A Me and a nurse who works nights, so the flat is quiet during the day.
B That actually suits me. I work from home three days a week.
A Then the only rule is the kitchen: whoever cooks, cleans. We've had problems with that before.
B Fair enough. When could I move in?
A The first of next month, if you decide by Friday.
