My tuppence worth is this.

Sending a child to University is an expensive business. Parent A, from what I can gather is able to afford the Halls of Residence, but is struggling to pay anything significantly more than that. Although he sounds like he is being offered a bargain for the flat of 10% less than the going rate, it has not been stated whether this is significantly more than the amount he is currently paying. I assume it is, or there should be no issue.

Given parent B is anxious to have girl child of Parent A staying in the flat, he should not charge significantly more to Parent A than he currently pays for accomodation. If getting a fair financial return is more important, then entering into pressured negotiations should not have taken place.
