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.

An important demographic trend that has sustained the growth of the private rented sector over the past decade or so has been the tendency for young people to leave the family home at a fairly young age to go on to further education and not return. In addition, there has been a net influx of jobs in some parts of Yorkshire which has helped create a requirement for more rented homes.
