  1. A

    Денис, я к вам по делу. В связи с ростом цен аренда с марта подорожает.

    Denis, I'm here on business. Due to rising prices, the rent goes up from March.

  2. B

    Так. А насколько, Виктор Андреевич?

    I see. And by how much, Viktor Andreyevich?

  3. A

    На пять тысяч. Квартплата выросла, налог тоже, сами понимаете.

    By five thousand. The utility bills have gone up, the tax too, you understand.

  4. B

    Понимаю... Но кран на кухне, который тёк полгода, я ведь сам починил.

    I understand... But the kitchen tap that leaked for half a year, I fixed it myself.

  5. A

    Помню, помню, спасибо. Кран теперь как новый.

    I remember, I remember, thank you. The tap's like new now.

  6. B

    И балконную дверь я отремонтировал за свои деньги. Может, это тоже учтём?

    And I repaired the balcony door with my own money. Maybe we could take that into account too?

  7. A

    Справедливо. Поскольку ремонт был за ваш счёт, давайте поднимем не на пять, а на три.

    Fair enough. Since the repairs were at your expense, let's raise it by three, not five.
