basicHi, I'm here to see the one-bedroom apartment listed online. Is the rent really $1,200 a month?
你好，我来看网上发布的那个一居室公寓。租金真的是每月1200美元吗？
💡 欧美租房通常说月租（per month），一般不含水电网费（utilities），要单独确认。
Yes, that's correct. The rent is $1,200 per month, and that includes water and trash. Electricity and internet are separate.
是的，没错。租金每月1200美元，包含水费和垃圾费。电费和网费另算。
Got it. What about the security deposit? And is there a minimum lease term?
了解了。押金是多少？有最短租期要求吗？
💡 Security deposit（押金）在美国通常是一个月房租，签约时支付，退租时退还（扣除损坏费用）。
The deposit is one month's rent, so $1,200. The minimum lease is six months, but I prefer a one-year lease.
押金是一个月的房租，即1200美元。最短租期是6个月，但我更希望签一年。
Are pets allowed? I have a small dog.
可以养宠物吗？我有一只小狗。
Small dogs are fine, but there's a $300 pet deposit. No cats, though — previous tenant had allergy issues.
小狗可以，但需要交300美元的宠物押金。不过不能养猫——之前的租客有过敏问题。
That works for me. When can I move in?
那没问题。我什么时候可以搬进来？
The apartment will be ready on the 1st. I'll need first month's rent, the security deposit, and the pet deposit upfront. I'll email you the lease to sign.
公寓1号就可以入住了。我需要你预付第一个月的房租、押金和宠物押金。我会把租约发邮件给你签字。
