AGENT: Good morning, Oakridge Urban Housing Trust. How can I help you today? CALLER: Hello. I'm calling to enquire about the tenancy requirements for the new development on St. Martin's Green. AGENT: Certainly! That's our flagship sustainable co-housing project. The residential complex is situated along Ravenscroft Way, just opposite the park. CALLER: Ravenscroft Way, got it. Are the apartments one or two bedrooms? AGENT: We offer both, but the currently available cohort consists entirely of two-bedroom duplex units. CALLER: That's perfect for my partner and me. Could you tell me the monthly rental rate? AGENT: The subsidized monthly rent is £740, which includes high-speed fiber broadband and communal heating. CALLER: That's very reasonable. Is vehicle parking provided on site? AGENT: The development operates under a low-car policy, so there are no private parking spaces. However, residents have access to a shared electric car club and a secure bike pavilion. CALLER: Understood. What is the required security deposit prior to signing the contract? AGENT: The refundable tenancy deposit is £850, and applicants must provide proof of employment covering the last twelve months. CALLER: Excellent. When are open viewing appointments scheduled? AGENT: The next guided site viewing takes place on Saturday, October 28th at 11:30 am. CALLER: Wonderful. I'll reserve a viewing slot online today. Thank you for your assistance! AGENT: You're very welcome. Goodbye!
