I surprises me he wants to fork out £300 every-eight-weeks for student accommodation.

Still; people always surprise me.  Good on you.

well you never know he might turn around and extend the times, still its an extra few hundred pounds for now. he did ask about internal cleaning (not windows) but would only pay £8 an hour, i said no thanks  ;D

Once a year for student flats,  its in the rental agreement small print usually that the windows have to be cleaned (and sometimes the carpets) by the students before they hand the keys back at the end of the year.
