Yes, there are a couple of things. First, regarding the move-in date, would it be possible to push it back by a week, say to the 15th instead of the 8th? My current lease officially ends on the 14th.

Let me check the landlord's schedule. Usually, a few days' flexibility isn't an issue. I'll confirm that for you. Also, about the rent, the advertised price is a firm $1,800, but the owner might be open to a long-term lease. Would you be interested in a 24-month lease?
English
我查一下房东的日程。通常几天的小幅调整不是问题。我为您确认一下。另外，关于租金，广告价格是固定的1800美元，但房东可能会考虑长期租约。您有兴趣签24个月的租约吗？

A 24-month lease sounds good if there's a benefit. Would that come with a slight reduction, or perhaps a rent freeze for the second year?
English
如果有利的话，24个月的租约听起来不错。这样会有些许折扣，或者第二年免涨租吗？
中文翻译
👩
Agent
第 6 轮
A rent freeze for the second year is definitely something we can propose for a 24-month term. As for a price reduction, let me see what's possible for a committed tenant like yourself. What's your ideal rent if you were to sign for two years?
English
对于24个月的租期来说，第二年免涨租绝对是我们能提出的方案。至于降价，我看看像您这样有诚意的租客能争取到什么。如果您签两年，您理想的租金是多少？

第 7 轮
I was hoping for something closer to $1,750, especially with the 24-month commitment. And one more thing, about maintenance. Who is responsible for minor repairs, like a leaky faucet or a clogged drain?
English
我希望能接近1750美元，尤其是我承诺租24个月。还有一件事，关于维修。像是水龙头漏水或者下水道堵塞，谁负责修理？

Agent
第 8 轮
Typically, the landlord covers all major repairs. For minor issues like a leaky faucet or a clogged drain, we usually handle those, unless it's caused by tenant misuse. I'll make sure that's clearly outlined in the agreement. Let me run these points by the landlord, and I'll get back to you by end of day with an updated proposal.
English
通常，房东负责所有重大维修。对于水龙头漏水或下水道堵塞这类小问题，除非是租客使用不当造成的，否则通常由我们处理。我会确保在协议中明确列出这一点。我把这些点跟房东沟通一下，今天结束前会给您一个更新的提案。
