| Good morning. |
| Hi, this is Shelley Meyer. |
| I'm renting your house on Archwood Avenue. |
| I'm due to move in next week. |
| Oh, yes... hello, Ms. Meyer. |
| What can I do for you? |
| When I viewed the house, I told you I'll most probably need to rent some furniture, |
| at least until I know whether my temporary work contract is going to be made permanent. |
| Yes, of course, I remember. |
| And I said I could give you some information about furniture rental companies in the city. |
| That's right. |
| Well, the biggest company is called Peak Rentals. |
| I've recommended them to other people and have always heard positive reports about them. |
| Could you give me an idea of their costs? |
| Sure. |
| I actually have one of their brochures here. |
| It says the monthly price per room starts at $105 and goes up to $239. |
| That depends on which rooms you need furniture for, of course. |
| Sure. |
| It's just to get a general idea of how much it's going to cost. |
| And you said you had some positive feedback about this company? |
| Yes. |
| People have mentioned that the furniture from Peak Rentals is more modern than any of the other companies. |
| And also, once you place an order, the furniture will be delivered to you in just one or two days. |
| That would be really helpful. |
| Oh, and the brochure says that there's a special offer at the moment. |
| If you rent living room furniture, I believe that's a set of chairs and a TV table, |
| you'll also get a lamp at no extra cost. |
| Okay, but you know, that price range you gave is more than I was hoping to pay. |
| Then you could try Aaron and Oliver. |
| Sorry, what and Oliver? |
| Aaron. |
| AARON. |
| Okay, are they cheaper? |
| I'd say they are a mid price company. |
| But if you chose them, you need to be aware that they charge an extra 12% every month in case of damage. |
| Oh, I see. |
| I'd have to do the math carefully then. |
| Right. |
| But one helpful thing is that they also do cleaning for customers. |
| For the furniture? |
| For the house. |
| Oh, I see. |
| I probably won't need that. |
| There's another company called Larch Furniture. |
| It's quite new, and it has the lowest prices in town. |
| That's for both furniture and also electronic equipment. |
| Well, that would be good. |
| I'm not bringing much with me, and I won't have much time to go shopping after I start my job. |
| There are two things you need to know about Larch Furniture. |
| First of all you have to take out insurance on the furniture and you need to organize that yourself. |
| That wouldn't be too hard. |
| Also, you can't take out a contract for less than six months |
| but I figure that might not be a problem for you. |
| You're renting the house for 12 months after all, aren't you? |
| Yes, okay. |
| Well, I... Sorry to interrupt. |
| I just thought of another furniture rental company. |
| It's called Space Rentals, |
| and it's located very near to the house. |
| Okay. |
| I don't have any information about their charges, |
| so it's best to use their app to find out what it would cost you to use them. |
| Okay, thanks. |
| I'll do that. |
| One good thing about that company is that if you don't like the furniture once it's delivered, you can request exchanges, |
| as long as you do that within a week of receiving it. |
| That sounds really great. |
| Okay, well, thanks very much. |
| That's so helpful. |
