Housing sorted, thank you all - 12 months and counting

We signed a lease yesterday after a long hunt. I do not usually post, so bear with me. The landlord took a chance on us. It was worth not giving up.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Thanks for sharing the deposit help tip. I will look into it.
