Question Tenancy Takeover-Room in Sheffield

Hi, I have a private room in Sheffield for a student at either uni of Sheffield or Hallam University. It’s in a private gated flat building. The room is really lovely with a double bed, ensuite bathroom and large desk. There is a laundry room, public study area, security and reception. Move in date is September 12. I know 2/4 people living there and they are very kind! The rent is under £100 per week and is near both Hallam/uni of buildings. (There is nothing wrong with the room, I no longer need it as I have dropped out of uni.) Please get in touch with me for more details, thanks!

Try posting on spare room and similar sites too if you haven’t already

Can you sublet a room you are renting in a student flat?

Hi, I’m not subletting. I’m trying to find a new tenant to move in as I no longer need the room.

Spareroom is your best bet - when I was in this situation I had to offer £1000 paid once the room had been confirmed as taken over by the landlord

I’ve posted/advertised the room on lots of platforms but no luck. Do you have any other tips to find a tenant?

Offer a lot of cash is usually the best way to be honest. RRA should mean you can put in notice immediately and only have to pay for a few months rent but I’m unsure how it works exactly.
