Dialogue: Finding a Roommate

A: Hi, Steve.
B: Hey, Jack. What’s up?
A: Do you know anyone who’s looking for a place to live? One of our roommates is moving out.
B: As a matter of fact, I do. My friend Sally needs a place. How much is the rent?

the room and roommates).

B: I’ll let her know and give her your number.
A: Thanks Steve. Oh wait! Is there anything I should know about Sally?
B: Like what?

potential roommate Sally)
