Types and Characteristics of Apartments 


Lily: Thanks for coming with me to meet the rental 1 agent to view an apartment, but I think I’m lost. I’m supposed to be there in 10 minutes, but I can’t find it. There are four different apartment complexes located next to each other and they look identical. 


Omid: Don’t you have the address? 


Lily: Yes, but all of the complexes in this subdivision look the same, and I don’t see a street number on any of them. 


Omid: Are you sure we’re looking for a block of apartments? Maybe the apartment is in a mixed-use building, like that one over there. 


Lily: I’m pretty sure. At least I know it’s in a high-rise building and the apartment is on the eighth floor. That mixed-use building is only three stories high. 


Omid: Oh, then it’s not a duplex or triplex, like those over there. 


Lily: No, it’s definitely not one of those. I’d better call the rental agent and get directions. 


Omid: Hey, look over there. I see a couple of the residents of that building walking out. Let’s ask them. Excuse me. Excuse me! Oh, they didn’t hear me. 


Lily: I’ll just make the call. 


Omid: Well, you can be sure of one thing if you move into one of these complexes. 


Lily: What? 


Omid: The bill collectors will never be able to find you!
