The more I look at this, the more it looks like zzzLD is right about this - except it is the wrong time of year for a student - or is it a 1st year referral assignment? And OP has become carried away ...zzzLazyDaisy wrote: »Are you sure you are a law graduate?

No, neither of us did. There were no payments of that sort. Simply a request for references from my friend, the tenant.
The agency got back to us and said we can sort it out and talk to them about this when we collect the keys on Friday.0 -

Oh yeh because a student would sit here on Money Saving Expert and create a crazy detailed problem like this? Get real. If I needed help with an exam I'd be posting on a student forum. Have you ever seen an undergraduate land law exam? They most certainty don't make the facts this complicated.0 -

I think that's your problem....I have a simple philosophy:
Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.

In real life things can get far more complicated than this question.0
