Poor Upkeep


A: I would like to make an appointment to discuss the problems I keep having with my apartment.
B: Are you having problems? This is the first I've heard of it.
A: We gave you a list of problems last week.
B: What kind of problems are you talking about?
A: The garbage disposal doesn't work, we have rats, and the toilet is backed up.
B: Maybe I could get back to you in a few weeks. I am leaving on vacation this afternoon.
A: These things are your responsibility, and you need to fix them immediately.
B: Don't tell me what to do! I'll get to it when I get around to it!
A: If these problems are not addressed immediately, I will be contacting the health department this Friday.
B: I'll be right over!


A: We would like you to stop by again so we can show you some more problems that have come up with our apartment.
B: I am kind of busy right now, but maybe later next week I could stop by.
A: We sent you an e-mail the first week we moved in; it listed the problems we found.
B: What problems did you find?
A: The roof leaks when it rains, there is mold on the bedroom walls, and the dishwasher doesn't work.
B: I don't really consider any of that to be my responsibility. You can fix those things yourself.
A: Maintaining basic health and safety standards is your responsibility.
B: I am maintaining the building. You are way too picky!
A: Unfortunately, you won't be getting a rent check unless these problems are fixed by Friday.
B: You wouldn't dare do that!


A: You really need to look at some of the problems we are having with the apartment.
B: That apartment never had any problems before. Are you sure the problem isn't you?
A: We spoke with you the first week we moved in about things that you promised to fix.
B: Where do you think you have problems?
A: There is no hot water, the bedroom has a broken window, and there are rats in the kitchen.
B: You know, no one else who has been in that apartment has had a problem before.
A: You are obligated to maintain your building and my apartment.
B: I will fix these problems when I get around to it.
A: I will be withholding my rent check this Friday unless these problems are addressed immediately.
B: You can't do that! It's illegal!

Calling the Police about a Burglary



A: Thank you for coming, officer.
B: What seems to be the problem?
A: I was in school all day and came home to a burglarized apartment.
B: Was the door locked when you left?
A: The door was still locked when I came home, so maybe they came in through a window.
B: Do you live here alone?
A: I have a roommate, but she is still at school.
B: Have you seen anyone suspicious in the neighborhood?
A: No, nothing unusual.
B: Well, I am going to check the windows and look for fingerprints. I want you to figure out what is missing.


A: I appreciate you coming so quickly, officer.
B: Whoa, what a mess! What happened here?
A: Apparently while I was at school today, someone decided to help themselves to the contents of my apartment.

A: I think that they broke in through a window.
B: Do you have a roommate?

B: Let's go through your rooms and try to figure out what has been taken.


A: Thank God you are here, officer.
B: I came as soon as I could. What a mess!
A: When I left for school today, everything was fine. Then I came home to find my apartment had been broken into.
B: Was the door locked when you came home?
A: I don't think they came in through the door; maybe they entered through the window.
B: Does anyone else live here?
A: I live here alone.
B: Have you noticed any strangers or parked cars around here recently?
A: I really haven't been home very much lately.
B: Let's figure out what is missing and see if there are any fingerprints left behind.​

B: You have been late with your rent several times now. I am filing suit for back rent to protect myself.

B: This notice is to let you know that you will be evicted by a sheriff if you don't make good on your rent.
A: If I catch up on my rent, can I stay?
