This landlord is very nice, but she said the deposit can’t be paid too late.
要不是 合同 写 得 很 清楚， 我 还 真 不 放心 马上 把 押金 给 她。yàobúshì hétong xiě de hěn qīngchu, wǒ hái zhēn bù fàngxīn mǎshàng bǎ yājīn gěi tā.
If the contract hadn’t been written so clearly, I really wouldn’t have felt comfortable giving her the deposit right away.

“How do tones work in Chinese?”
Mandarin Chinese has four main tones plus a neutral tone. The same syllable can mean completely different things depending on the tone — for example, "mā" (mother), "má" (hemp), "mǎ" (horse), and "mà" (scold). Mastering tones is essential for being understood.
