    A number of factors contribute to the sustained demand for rented accommodation in Yorkshire. The burgeoning student population of Englands largest county, with major universities at Sheffield, Hull, Leeds and York, among others, underpin demand for rented properties.

    Because my flat is near the university, the agency had no difficulty in renting it out to students. To make it more presentable, I had double glazing, central heating and new carpets put in.
