Apartment problems

Shara and Charles live in Chicago. They rent a one-bedroom apartment. Shara is expecting a baby in two months, so they are looking for a larger apartment.
Shara and Charles are talking to the landlord in a large apartment building. He is showing them an apartment in his building. A family is living there now, but they’re going to move next week. The landlord is also saying that there are a few problems in the apartment, but he’s going to fix them.
Shara and Charles are looking around the apartment. They can’t believe the mess! In the kitchen, the oven door isn’t open and the oven is smoking. Shara is trying to open the refrigerator, but she can’t. The doos is stuck. And the heat isn’t working, no hot air is coming up from the radiator.
Charles is in the bathroom. He can’t see too well because the light isn’t working. The sink is over flowing. Water is going all over the floor and Charles can’t turn it off. And water is leaking from the ceiling. There’s probably a problem in the apartment above this one.
Shara and Charles aren’t going to rent this aparment. They are leaving in a hurry!
