The Landlord was the owner of a two-bedroom flat in Weatherfield which was viewed by Daniel Osbourne and Sinead Tinker, having responded to an advertisement placed in the Weatherfield Gazette in March 2017.
Due to the fact that the previous tenant wouldn't be returning, the fully-furnished property was immediately available for them to move into, and although Sinead and Kirk and Beth Sutherland - who'd also tagged along for the viewing - were quite taken with the flat, Daniel showed little enthusiasm but blamed this on tiredness, having been at work all day.
When Kirk produced half a packet of throat lozenges he'd found on the bedside table, it was once again stated that the previous tenant wouldn't be needing them; paramedics said he'd suffered pneumonia and had been lying there for two weeks. The landlord said that had he not been round to chase the rent the tenant would have still been there. He did however (belatedly) suggest that he would change the duvet!
