New lawn

Hello
Hoping for some advice.
Lawn was seeded in our rental last October. It has taken Ok in parts, patchy in others. The weeds are out of control.
We intend to do the following order:
1. hand weed the big thug weeds.
2. Mow
3. Treat the remaining lawn weeds with lawn weedol (apologies I appreciate this is not the most environmentally sensitive thing to do, but its bad, so not a great deal of choice).
4. Fertilize the good parts. Is this ok when the lawn isn't properly established?
5. Re seed the patchy bits.
Does this order seem ok.
Many thanks

1 - Mow it regularly and you shouldn't get thug weeds.
2 - Ditto
3 - Weeds are subjective - What is a lawn weed? If you mow regularly then weeds won't be a problem
4 - Why do you feel it needs fertilising? Are there signs that this is the case. Lawns very rarely need fertilising.
5 - Top dress and re-seed the patchy areas.
