So of course, I had to go looking.
This is what I found:
"Get the Key to Nerano Manor
The next thing Sugar-Lips asks for is the key to the top floor of Nerano Manor. She tells you that there are two people who would probably have a key. One is Ondres Nerano, but it may be easier to get the key from his servant, Sovor Trandel who hangs out at the Balmora Council Club. There are actually three quests involving Savor Trandel. If you play your cards right, you can kill him once and complete all three quests. First of all, if you've talked to any of the people around Balmora, you might have heard that Larrius Varro at Fort Moonmoth wants to talk to you. Turns out that Sovor is one of the "bad people" and you can bet that he really is bad, because the third quest involves the murder of Ralen Hlaalo. This is actually a House Hlaalu quest, but if you can manage to break into the Hlaalo manor and find Ralen's body, you can get the quest without belonging to House Hlaalu, or get the quest sooner if you do belong. So, to recap, Sovor has the key for Nerano manor, he's one of the "bad people" and he's also the murderer of Ralen Hlaalo. I say taunt the creep and kill him. You'll be doing Balmora a favor."
Argh. This confirms my notes pretty much, but it doesn't clarify anything.
