Well then he shouldn't be giving you such a shit awful reference
have a word with rswipe re: your rights. And I'm sure if you ask the estate agent nicely they'll give you another day. Why can't your dad be guarantor given that you're currently living with him?

He's retired now, so has no income to show
And my stepmum is now reducing her hours, so she can't really be used either. Plus, she refuses to do it again, after last time they were phoning her colleagues in her office, asking about her personality, etc. Stupidly in depth.

Hate to say this
but of course it's in-depth. Full credit check, references, the works. After all, they are now the ones responsible for paying the rent, not you. That's the point of a guarantor. It's not just to tell them that you are a pleasant chap.

Aye, the only reason she got annoyed is because they were contacting those she listed as reference, and then others she hadn't listed.
