Housing sorted, thank you all - what worked for you?

We signed a lease yesterday after a long hunt. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. A local programme helped with the deposit. It was worth not giving up.

Congratulations! That is a big weight off.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 2 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
