    Or 12. But if you find them a replacement tenant they may let you out of it.

    There was another place I stayed at in the next town, too, basic but cheap. Can't remember the name of it but could find out if you like.

    I know another contractor onsite rented a flat very close to the town centre, he paid £600/mth for it.

    Quite a nice place actually, they have a park near the centre (crap in the winter of course) and loads of pubs
