Letting an unfurnished home and revising the rent
A free rent receipt whose refusal has become a criminal offence, an acknowledgement rather than a receipt where payment is partial, an annual revision lost if it is a year late, and service charges reconciled on a statement. Three modules built on a €720 rent and a €160 reconciliation. All the prose is free to read; only the quizzes are sold.
