M:Hello.
W:Hello,Sam.This is Paula Handson.Sorry to bother you.But I’m having a small problem I thought you might be able to help me with.
M:Sure,Paula.What’s up?
W:Well,you know Sarah and I moved into an off-campus apartment in the fall?Anyway we’ve been happy with it until the past couple of months.
M:Yeah.What happened?
W:Well,the dishwasher broke down.So we reported it to Ms.Connors,the owner.She said she’d take care of it.But a month went by and nothing happened.
M:Did you get back in touch with her?
W:I got a repairperson to give me an estimate,and then I sent it to her.When I didn’t hear from her,I had the repair done.And I deducted the cost from the rent check.
M:So what’s the problem?
W:She called here mad as a hornet.She said she could have gotten the repair done for less money.Now she’s threatening to evict us for not paying the full rent.Well,you are over at the law school.So I wondered if you would mind coming with Sarah and me when we go to talk to Ms.Connors.We’re supposed to meet with her tomorrow night at eight.
M:Sure.I haven’t studied a lot about contracts yet.But I’d be glad to help you straighten things out.Why don’t I stop by at about 7:30?
W:Thanks,Sam.You’re a lifesaver.
