2-8 约定

3句英文任你选

You can't sublet the apartment.

你不能把这套公寓转租给他人。

Do I have to sign a lease?

我是否得签一份租约?

You must pay one month refundable deposit in advance.

你得预先付一个月可退还得押金。

半个句型要记牢

pay a refundable deposit (付押金)

Tip: refundable a. 可退还的;可偿还的

更多关于约定的语句：

This is the lease. You should read the lease very carefully before you sign it because it describes your legal rights and responsibilities as a tenant. The lease also describes our rights and responsibilities as landlords.

这是契约。你在签这份契约之前，应该认真读一读。这份契约里描述了一个房客的合法权利和义务，也阐明了我们房主的权利和义务。

According to the lease, I’ll deposit one month’s rent as a security deposit, and I have to pay the first month’s rent in advance. I understand that I’ll get the security deposit back when I move out if the apartment does not need any costly repairs.

根据这份契约，我将交一个月的押金作为安全抵押金。我还必须先交一个月的租金。我的理解是，当我搬出去的时候，如果公寓不需要做任何的维修，我会拿回我的押金。

Can I pay you by check?

我能用支票付款吗?

A check will be fine.

用支票可以。
