I wanted to talk about my lease. Brian: Sure, Sarah. What’s on your mind? Sarah: I got your message about the rent going up next month. Honestly, it caught me off guard.

I’ll send you the new lease this week. Sarah: That sounds fair. Thanks for hearing me out, Brian. 中文翻譯 Sarah：嘿 Brian，有空嗎？我想跟你聊一下我的租約。 Brian：當然，Sarah，你有什麼事？ Sarah：我收到你下個月要漲房租的訊息了，老實說有點措手不及。 Brian：我知道這不是什麼好消息，市場行情漲了，我的房屋稅也跟著漲。 Sarah：我懂。但漲 10% 真的有點多，我在想是不是還有商量的空間？ Brian：我可以聊聊，你的想法是什麼？ Sarah：那我們各退一步？改成漲 5% 而不是 10%。我預算已經很吃緊了，水電費還含在裡面。 Brian：嗯，5% 對…
