what should I call her?
This afternoon, a student-looking lady?? from the university housing office brought someone to my apartment and said my rent is due this weekend so she brought future tenant to have a look at this apartment. After she left I found my agreement which says my rent is due at the end of July. Now I'm gonna call the housing office and clear this up, what should call this lady? in both in a written manner and colloquial manner?
ps Could you help me rephrase "in both in a written manner and colloquial manner", I know it's not how you guys say it.
Thank you.

in both a written manner and colloquial manner -- I think this is fine, Kanonathena. I may start using it; now I usually use in both the written and spoken language . Difficult to judge precisely who your visitor was; it depends on the structure of your university's non-academic departments.

I think she is just a worker in the housing office who normally take people round to show them houses(have a look at houses), maybe a housing agent?
ps: *** more questions coming Is there a verb that can replace "have a look at" here? Can you tell me what's the more formal word for "houses"?
Thank you.
