Can anyone point me in the direction of where I will find private rental properties without looking through Rightmove or agenices, Ive only ever rented through this channels and I'm sick of agencies and would like to try a landlord direct.

I'm looking in West/North Yorkshire

    Try Gumtree, they have a Leeds site
    We advertise properties on there and find tenants quite easily

    Try the local residential LL association - York , Leeds & Harrogate have one, or check via www. landlords.org.uk or www. rla.org.uk for local contacts.

    Also try vivastreet, letalife etc

    Try your local newsagent/PO window. That's how we found our lovely house- no agencies fees! Hooray.

    Gumtree is a good site to find a private landlord but over the last few months it has been saturated with agencies.
