对话预览
基础押金支付
basicBefore you move in, I'll need a security deposit equal to one month's rent. That's $1,800.
在你入住之前,我需要收取相当于一个月租金的押金,也就是1800美元。
How would you like me to pay? Do you accept personal checks?
你希望怎么付?接受个人支票吗?
I prefer a cashier's check or a money order for the deposit. Personal checks take too long to clear.
押金我更倾向于收银行本票或汇票。个人支票到账太慢了。
在使用支票的地方,个人支票到账慢,银行本票(cashier's check)更安全快捷。
Got it. When will I get the deposit back after I move out?
明白了。搬走后押金什么时候退还?
By law, I have to return your deposit within 30 days of move-out, minus any deductions for damages beyond normal wear and tear.
按法律规定,我必须在你搬出后30天内退还押金,扣除超出正常损耗的损坏费用。
各地对押金退还的时限有不同法律规定,以当地规定为准。房东通常需提供书面的扣款明细。
Will I receive an itemized list if anything is deducted?
如果有扣款,会收到逐项清单吗?
押金争议
intermediateI've reviewed the apartment after your move-out. I'll be deducting $400 from your deposit for carpet cleaning and a damaged cabinet.
你搬走后我检查了公寓。我要从押金中扣除400美元,用于地毯清洁和损坏的橱柜。
I disagree with the carpet cleaning charge. The carpet was already stained when I moved in. I have photos from the move-in inspection.
我不同意地毯清洁的扣款。我搬入时地毯就已经有污渍了。我有搬入检查时拍的照片。
搬入时拍照记录房屋状况是保护自己押金的重要手段。
Can you send me those photos? If the stains were pre-existing, I'll remove that charge.
你能把照片发给我吗?如果污渍是之前就有的,我会取消这项扣费。
I'll email them to you today. As for the cabinet, can you show me the repair estimate?
我今天就发邮件给你。至于橱柜,能给我看看维修报价吗?
Sure, I'll forward the contractor's estimate. It came to $200 for the cabinet door replacement.
当然,我把承包商的报价转给你。更换柜门200美元。
Okay, that sounds fair. Please send the deposit balance by check to my new address.
好的,这个合理。请把剩余押金寄支票到我的新地址。
在使用支票的地方,退还押金通过支票(check)是常见做法,虽然电子支付越来越普及,但仍需接受收到支票的可能性。
