Conversation 1: Hello, Nicole here. Who's calling, please? - Hey, Nicole. It's Richard. I'm pretty sure you know why I'm calling.
-
2
Yes, a dollar gets a dime that you're calling about the rent. - Nicole, for the second month in a row, your rent is late.
-
3
I thought you said there is a grace period. - No, I didn't. There was no grace period last month, this month, or any month.
-
4
Maybe I'm confusing this place with my last place. - Well, I'm waiting to receive your rent check.
-
5
I get my money tomorrow, so I can pay you by Monday. - Remember, just like last month, you have to pay the $50 late fee.
-
6
I don't remember seeing a late fee in the rental agreement. - If you look at your agreement, you'll see the late fee circled in red ink!
-
7
I forget where I put my rental agreement. - One more late check, and you're looking at eviction.

Conversation 2: Hello. This is Nicole. - This is Richard. Let's not play games. You know why I'm calling.
-
9
Oh, not again! You're calling about the rent. - Yes, your rent check is late, just like last month.
-
10
What happened to my grace period? - Why would there be a grace period this month? There wasn't one last month.
-
11
I guess I might be a little confused. - What day in the near future can I expect your check?
-
12
My boss told me he will pay me tomorrow. You'll get my check by Monday. - Remember to include the $50 late fee.
-
13
Are you sure the rental agreement included a late fee? - The red ink around the late fee in your agreement should tell you something.
-
17
What about my grace period? - Are you getting Alzheimer's? There is no grace period in the rental agreement.
-
18
Sometimes my memory isn't so good. Maybe I do have Alzheimer's. - I'm looking forward to receiving your check in the very near future.
-
19
Is Monday okay? I get paid tomorrow. - Remember that the check amount must include the $50 late fee.
-
20
Okay, if the rental agreement actually has a late fee, I'll pay the fifty dollars. - Look at your agreement. There's a big red circle around the late fee.
-
21
As soon as I find my rental agreement, I'll read it again. - I'm not giving you any more chances. Be late again, and you'll be evicted.
