Difficulty: mediumYour flat

Deposit, commission and the currency you pay in

Role-play: you settle the deposit, who pays the commission, and which currency the rent is paid in (Depozit i provizija).

Where it happens

Your flat
Your cosy flat in central Novi Sad — the base where your lessons take place.

Who you talk to

Petar (landlord)
Petar is a landlord showing a flat he rents out. Calm and matter-of-fact, he answers questions about the rent, the deposit and the utilities.

What you need to do

  1. Ask about the deposit: how much and on what conditions it comes back.
  2. Ask whether there is an agency commission and who pays it.
  3. Ask which currency to pay in and how — in cash or to an account.
  4. The complication: the landlord suggests cash only with no receipt. Politely ask for confirmation of payment.
  5. Say back what you have agreed and suggest putting it in the contract.
