Blatant fibbing for flats

[rae]

right, needing some advice here. I am currently flat hunting in Edinburgh for September. I have appointments tomorrow to see four flats, one of which I really really really really want but it's going to be quite popular I think. I don't have a job, do have some money in the bank, and can only get references from uni housing as I've never lived anywhere else except home (note from Mum anyone?). HOW do I get this flat???

I think I know a way that you can get this flat, and what's more if you follow my cunning plan you won't even have to pay rent:

Ask to be shown round the flat. At an opportune moment knock the estate agent unconscious and throw their limp body out of the front door before changing the locks. With this achieved the flat will be, if only in a manner of speaking, yours. Of course there will then be the little matter of ABH charges and a possible police siege, but you did say you really wanted the flat didn't you?

An excellent - and cunning - plan, Nova. However, due to a duelling injury, my left hook is a little weak these days. Any other, slightly more legal, ideas?

You may be asked to have someone act as a guarantor (sp?) i.e. a parent (for example) fills in a form stating their occupation, also giving bank details, so that the landlord can get money back if you happen to wreck the place. I only heard of this today as my dad has just filled one in for my sister. It may be enough for the agent to accept. Good luck!

it's a film with Bruce Willis & Samuel L Jackson (not Die Hard with a vest on)

In it a garbage man knocks on somebody's door.

the owner opens the screen door.

"That's a nice house. Can I have it?"

Owner, surprised and a bit disgusted "no" and shuts the screen door.

the garbage man kicks open the door, beats the owner and ties the family to radiators.

that is a teeny tiny part of the film which is rated terrible by most people, and great by me. it was just a thought that crossed my tiny mind.
