The exam went well, thanks!

There's more of a story there. We did have an infestation - two, in fact, one mice and one rats - in one place in Golders Green, upstairs from several restaurants. Each time the landlord had a 24/7 exterminator service there in hours without us asking.

It looks like that is the benefit of living in London, however. I spoke to Hertsmere Council about it, and their response was that it was up to us to pay. The landlord might pay. Our lease pretty clearly says that if the infestation is our fault, then we have to pay ... but the landlord and the agent who wrote the lease have "clarified" that. Basically, any kind of infestation, no matter the cause, is entirely our problem.

So it looks like the Hertsmere council policy is that it's not enough of an environmental health issue for them to intervene.
