I think something else important about living with other people

3:28

or renting somewhere,

3:29

so paying monthly, is having a good landlord.

3:34

It's very important.

3:36

So, who is a landlord?

3:37

What is a landlord?

3:39

So, the landlord is, or landlady is, the person that owns the house or flat

3:45

that you're in and you pay them rent.

3:48

So, you pay them a monthly amount.

3:51

But you might live there for a year or two years or three years,

3:56

but you don't own the place.

3:58

It's the landlord that owns the place.

4:00

Yeah, and a good landlord can make a big difference.

4:04

Neil, are you easy to live with?

4:07

4:10

I don't know, but I think I have made some good friends

4:18

when I've been a housemate.

4:20

So, they think that I was a good housemate.

4:24

OK.

4:24

4:26

Yeah, I think I'm easy to live with,

4:28

but I like to sing a lot, so maybe people would tell me to be quiet.

4:34

Although no one's ever told me to be quiet...

4:36

but maybe they wanted me to and just didn't say!
