Answer:

D. Promised

Step-by-step explanation:

It seems like “Madam” was promised by The Rent Man that he would fix everything so he promised, The last sentence said “You Promised to’ve done.” Which proves The Rent Man promised but never got to it. Yes its correct, i have all my proof and i got it right on Edge! Hope this helps, and makes sense.
