My confidence on the answer is probably from the same source as you have seen - on Facebook - Mark (karaokemark on this forum) - if he said that's what happened to him this week - it will be right!
The only thing I don't remember is if the person he went for was "renting" as it has been 3 years for people renting for quite a while - will wait for him to confirm
PS just re-read and he has said "even for people owning etc ....." - so if I were in your position I would believe Mark if I were making any plans.
