Yeah, yeah.
May. 4th, 2006 05:36 pmSo the letting agent just rang me back. Apparently he has, I kid you not, "a friend looking to rent a room in this area - but just for a month". There's a fucking coincidence eh? So. His 'friend' is going to take the flat for the next four weeks, and then I can move in on my preferred moving-in date, with no additional charges in the meantime, because his 'friend' will have paid the rent up to then. Isn't that handy. *shakes head in disbelief*
He seemed like such a nice honest bloke too. There's something about certain jobs that really brings out the weirdest underhanded behaviour in people... property, and anything to do with cars (sales or repairs), are the two industries that immediately spring to mind.
Anyway, I'll be putting my deposit down on Monday after work. So "woo, yay, houpla", and if there are no more interesting surprises coming my way (in this respect at least) then I'll be living here from mid-June on.
