    If I were you I'd be inclined to see if it's possible to fit it, even though you're in rented. After all if you can fit it up there you should be able to take it away when you move, and it'll keep your bills down? Also, if you're in a terrace you may not have loft access, but it's worth asking your neighbours - some of the older terraces have long lofts that run the length of the terrace, and you may be able to get into your loft from your neighbours' loft! Failing that, may be worth trying a card in a newsagent's window?
    ETA: Maybe a post on the In My Home and Local Moneysaving boards?
