rent houses quickly

Hello.
In March Time, 2 of my friends and I signed a joint lease on a house.
We were asked to pay deposits, bring a guarantor form and references by May . However only 2 of us did so and one girl did not pay her deposit or bring her form . We are supposed to be moving in tomorrow , however the estate agent told us that unless she pays her £200 deposit and the £200 first months rent, that we cant get our keys.
She no longer wants to move into the house as she cant afford it.
We want to move into the house tomorrow, if she tells the estate agent that she doesnt want the house anymore and wants to pull out of the lease.. can we then get the house?

Or what happens?>

Im totally confused as i really want to move into the house but cant because this girl did not pay her deposit. Is she still entitled to the house although she did not pay her deposit or give in her guarantor form?

Please answer quickly if you have any idea or information.thanks

wallpaper stripping

Hello…
I’ve just stripped the wallpaper off the walls (by using a wallpaper steamer) in my new house, but there’s a few things I think I need to address before I start painting…

1) I think that there is probably some wallpaper paste still stuck on the walls, I’ve see on here than sugar soap is probably the best for removing this? What’s the easiest and best way of using it? Mop and bucket for example?

2) I have already sanded the walls down with a power sander, but I can’t help but think there’s something else I need to do before I paint, partly because of the next point…

3) The walls were painted underneath the paper, so now that I’ve took the wallpaper off, it’s pulled off some of the paint. So I have patches of painted and non-painted areas. I’m worried that this will show up when I paint the walls. How can I combat this?

I’m a completely new to DIY so please assume I know nothing and can you explain in as much detail as possible. Thanks.

wallpaper stripping

Hello,
I have a strip of wallpaper that’s been on my walls for about 10 years. It’s about a foot wide (top to bottom) and it stretches horizontally around my kitchen. I am having trouble peeling it off.

*I have already tried using: Vinegar, and The wallpaper stripping sprays.

What can I use to get the paper off?
