Jolly, get the quest to restore Maria's rep - she will flag Malcolm's house for you in Verdistis. NW corner. Go there and get the financial records from his cupboard (on top) - go to Trevor/guildmaster of merchants, show him these records. Report to Maria. She will go to Verdistis, meet her in the guildhall there - she will vouch for you - you can rent/buy the house form Trevor then.
