Furniture Rental Companies

MAN   Good morning

WOMAN   Hi, this is Michelin Meyer. I’m renting your house on Archwood Avenue. I’m due to move in next week.

MAN   Oh, yes. Hello, Ms. Meyer. What can I do for you?

WOMAN   When I viewed the house, I told you I’ll most probably need to rent some furniture, at least until I know whether my temporary work contract is going to be made permanent.

MAN   Yes, of course. I remember. And I said I could give you some information about furniture rental companies in the city.

WOMAN   That’s right.

MAN   Well, the biggest company is called Peak Rentals. I’ve recommended them to other people and have always heard positive reports about them.

WOMAN   Could you give me an idea of their costs?

MAN   Sure. I actually have one of their brochures here. It says the monthly price per room starts at $105 and goes up to $239. That depends on which rooms you need furniture for, of course.

WOMAN   Sure. It’s just to get a general idea of how much it’s going to cost. And you said you had some positive feedback about this company?

MAN   Yes. People have mentioned that the furniture from Peak Rentals is more modern than any of the other companies. And also, once you place an order, the furniture will be delivered to you in just one or two days.

WOMAN   That would be really helpful.

MAN   Oh, and the brochure says that there’s a special offer at the moment. If you rent living room furniture, I believe that’s a set of chairs and a TV table, you’ll also get a lamp at no extra cost.

WOMAN   Okay, but you know, that price range you gave is more than I was hoping to pay.

MAN   Then you could try Aaron and Oliver.

WOMAN   Sorry, what and Oliver?

MAN   Aaron, double A-R-O-N

WOMAN   OK, are they cheaper

MAN   I say they are a mid company But if you chose them you need to be aware that they charge an extra 12 every month in case of damage

WOMAN   Oh, I see. I’d have to do the math carefully then.

MAN   Right. But one helpful thing is that they also do cleaning for customers.

WOMAN   For the furniture?

MAN   For the house.

WOMAN   Oh, I see. I probably won’t need that.

—————————

MAN   There’s another company called Larch Furniture. It’s quite new, and it has the lowest prices in town. That’s for both furniture and also electronic equipment.

WOMAN   Well, that would be good. I’m not bringing much with me, and I won’t have much time to go shopping after I start my job.

MAN   There are two things you need to know about large furniture. First of all you have to take out insurance on the furniture and you need to organize that yourself

WOMAN   That wouldn’t be too hard.

MAN   Also you can take out a contract for less than six months but I figure that might not be a problem for you. You’re renting the house for 12 months after all, aren’t you?

WOMAN   Yes, okay. Well, I…

MAN   Sorry to interrupt. I just thought of another furniture rental company. It’s called Space Rentals, and it’s located very near to the house.

WOMAN   Okay.

MAN   I don’t have any information about their charges, so it’s best to use their app to find out what it would cost you to use them.

WOMAN   Okay, thanks. I’ll do that.

MAN   One good thing about that company is that if you don’t like the furniture once it’s delivered, you can request exchanges, as long as you do that within a week of receiving it.

WOMAN   That sounds really great. Okay, well, thanks very much. That’s so helpful
