10：Florence spent her last years in loneliness and poor health.

听力原文：M: Hello.

W: Hello, John. This is .Florence Richardson. I'm sorry to phone you at this hour, but I'm experiencing a sticky issue and I can't think of anyone to get advice from besides you.

M: What's up？

W: Well, I moved to my present apartment a couple of months ago and now I'm thinking to defer my studies and planning to return to my parents' place next month. Today, I gave notice to my landlord but he said he's unable to give my deposit back since I have to stay a minimum of six months.

M: Are you giving him a-month-in-advance notice to move？

W: Yes, that's exactly what I did today. In the tenancy agreement that's the timeframe. requested to notify the landlord.

M: Yes, that's the usual practice. Well, in the tenancy agreement, did it state that there's a minimum of six months stay or the deposit would be forfeited？

W: Not that I could remember. Besides, I have never heard of such a clause in the contract.

M: Well, I have never heard of it either. It could be the landlord is trying to intimidate you. Perhaps you should pull your contract out and have a word with him.

W: Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking Of. But he said he spent time and money on advertisement to get a tenant and it wouldn't be fair on him if I just stayed for two months.

M: Well, that's not the Point, Florence. It doesn't matter how much he spent on advertisement, but the fact is he shouldn't force a tenant to stay if he or she doesn't want to. Besides, if the contract does not state the timeframe, then he shouldn't impose it himself.

W: You are right, John. You just confirmed my reasoning.

M: Look, Florence, I'll go with you to see the landlord tomorrow and if he still insists On not giving your deposit back, we'll go to the small claims court to get your money back.

W: Thanks, John. I really appreciate that.
