It's the fact I've passed the credit check that irritates me
This is only required because of the bad reference. He knows this, and knows he can trust me, yet is dragging his feet.

Even if they don't need it, as guarantor he's still responsible for the rent. I'm not sure there's such a thing as a "half-guarantor" I'm sure he can trust you, but it's a major responsibility.

that is quite a long discussion.
maybe he's bottling saying no, in which case I think a light slap from you would probably be justified.

Then just ring him
and tell him you need an answer. A bit of light hassling is probably justified, since it seems to be such a big deal.

I'm going to give him a try at lunch
If he doesn't answer, then I'm going to have to go to my backup plan - One of my other siblings
