Renting an apartment

Finding the right apartment to rent can have a great effect on your life.1..

Where is the apartment? You might find a nice big apartment, but if you don’t like the neighborhood, you’re probably not going to be happy in your home. Ask yourself, “Is it convenient(方便的) for shops and transportation? Is it safe enough?”

Is having a lot of light important to you? 2.Are they big enough or are they facing south? If an apartment doesn’t have enough light, you may find it to be a terrible place to live.

3. After all, the last thing you want to discover on the moving day is that your bed won’t fit into the bedroom! Also check that there is enough closet(衣橱) space for all of your clothes.

Do you have a car? 4. You should also check the convenience and safety of the parking.

And lastly, be sure to read every word of the rental contract(合同). 5. The apartment you choose will be the place you wake up in and go home to each day. So it’s worth taking the time to carefully consider these things.

A. Do you have a pet?

B. Here are some important things to keep in mind.

C. Is there enough room for your furniture?

D. If there is something you don’t understand, just ask.

E. Then be sure to check the windows in the apartment.

F. If so, you should check to see if there is a parking area.

G. It is a good idea to share an apartment with one of your friends.

Dear Mr. Smith,

I currently rent (租) APT #832 in the Canyon Crossing apartments. Overall, I am happy with the location. At the beginning I had planned to live here for at least two years. I like here.

However, I am very disappointed in that there seems to be a terrible roach (蟑螂) problem. I can’t invite any guest over because of this problem and I cannot recommend (推荐) Canyon Crossing to any of my classmates either.

I have left two voice mails for you which are concerned with this problem. You have not returned either one. Therefore, this letter is my next step in hoping to solve the problem. I am kindly asking you to ask an exterminator (灭蟑人) by July 15th. If you fail to do so, I will have no choice but to make a complaint to the BBB (Better Business Bureau).

You are welcome to text me anytime at (435) 234-3452. I hope this problem will be solved soon.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Unhappy Ursula

Dear Sir,

I am a new resident (居民) at Sunning Court. I have seen the condition of the building becoming worse and worse since I moved here last year.

First of all, the management of the building is really terrible. Sometimes, there is a bad smell when I walk on the road. I see much rubbish there. No cleaners clean the rubbish. Many roaches and rats run around the building.

My second problem is about the security (安全). I always see the guards reading newspapers or smoking when they are on duty. The security room is very dusty too. When I want to use the phone, they say, “We can’t help.”

I am therefore writing to demand your company’s action to improve the situation. Thank you for your consideration.

Yours faithfully,

Chris Wong
