Sarah
Hey Tom, can we talk about the rent increase?
Tom
Hi Sarah, sure. What's up?
Sarah
It's a bit steep. I wasn't expecting a 15% hike.
Tom
I hear you, but maintenance costs have gone up.
Sarah
I get that, but it's a lot to handle right now.
Tom
I understand. Maybe we can work something out?
Sarah
I'd appreciate that. Things are tight with my new job.

Tom
How's the new job going, by the way?
Sarah
It's good. Busy, but I like it. How's your work?
Tom
Pretty hectic as well. Always something, right?
Sarah
Haha, true. So, about the rent... any flexibility?
Tom
Maybe we can reduce it to a 5% increase?
Sarah
That would be amazing, Tom. Thanks!
Tom
Sure, I'll draft a new agreement.
Sarah
You're a lifesaver. Thank you!
Tom
No problem, Sarah. Happy to help.
Sarah
I owe you one. Coffee on me?
Tom
Sounds great! Catch up soon then?

Sarah
Definitely. Btw, you weren't planning to sell, right?
Tom
Why do you ask?
Sarah
Just heard some rumors around the block.
Tom
Oh, just rumors. No plans right now.
Sarah
Good to know. I like this place.
Tom
Glad to hear that. It's a nice neighborhood.
Sarah
For sure! See you soon!
Tom
See you, Sarah!
Hey Sarah, quick thing. Can we delay the coffee?
Sarah
Sure, why?

Tom
Got to meet with a real estate agent. Just exploring options.
Sarah
Wait, are you considering selling?
Tom
Just checking the market. No decision yet.
Sarah
Alright... hope I get first dibs if you decide to sell!
Tom
Haha, you'll be the first to know!
Sarah
Thanks, Tom. Take care!
Tom
You too, Sarah!
