Putting tenants' first is a clear winning strategy from Sugarhouse Properties and adding their wellness app only justifies their popularity amongst students.
Sugarhouse Properties have offering their tenants health and wellbeing support with the help of a new app.
Moving into your first house share or rented flat can be a stressful time.
You're not only trying to navigate Leeds' bus system and cook more than a Pot Noodle for dinner, but balancing working, living, studying and socialising into those short 24 hours of the day is hard.
Of course, there are limitless factors that can affect wellbeing, but regardless of whether you are struggling short-term or have a long-term mental health condition, the student letting agency, Sugarhouse Properties want to make the transition as easy as possible and support your wellbeing along the way.
Focusing on their tenant wellness, Sugarhouse have just launched a new app that is devised to offer physical and mental health support.
Other exciting features include tips on integrating with the local community and a foolproof first-timers guide to the city.
Director of Sugarhouse Properties, Richard Napier, is extremely excited about the new development.
“Young people are, quite rightly, much more discerning these days and expect higher standards of accommodation and extra support and services in their homes.
Not only do we offer properties that have all the mod cons, and are clean and comfortable, but we also offer lifestyle and wellbeing support to tenants through the Sugar Hive App, and try and include all bills in the rental price so there are no hidden costs or headaches".
Sugarhouse properties recently partnered with Headingley-based bars Manahatta and Box to offer freshers a free drink to welcome them to the city.
Organising social events for Leeds newbies so students instantly feel at home is all part of their letting experience and Sugarhouse hope that this allows students and graduates to learn about their newfound surroundings and realise Leeds' potential.

“Leeds is such a vibrant city with so much to offer students and young professionals alike.
We want all of our tenants to love Leeds as much as we do, so we’re doing everything we can to connect them with great landlords who care, as well as helping them find their feet and learn all of the great things the city, and surrounding areas, have to offer".
The family of the young man who was killed in tragic tiger attack at Yorkshire Wildlife Park have now paid tribute to him.
The man has been named as William Chapman.
Emergency services rushed to the park near Doncaster at around 1.30pm on Saturday 10 October, after reports of a man climbing into the tiger enclosure.
Tragically, the man involved in the tiger attack lost his life.
Today, Wednesday 14 October, Chapman's family have paid a touching tribute to the 'warm and engaging young man' via police.
It reads: "William was a bright, warm and engaging young man whom his family dearly loved - and William loved them back.
"Sadly, William suffered from significant mental illness over a number of years and was consequently prescribed strong medication.
"It will be for the coroner to decide what part this played in his death. We would ask everybody to respect that process."
The tribute continues: "The family are utterly devastated by their loss and are struggling to come to terms with what has happened. The publication and circulation of deeply offensive media content is causing them severe distress at an exceptionally vulnerable time. We ask people to stop doing this.
"The family are hopeful that the relevant authorities will do their utmost to get to the bottom of why our amazing son did what he did.
"In the meantime, please do not approach the family, their addresses, or scrape any further social media from William’s or his family’s accounts.”
Yorkshire Wildlife Park shared on Sunday 11 October that Altai, the male tiger in question, is 'safe and well' and will not be euthanised as a result of the incident.
In a statement, they said: "We would like to thank everyone who has expressed their concern following yesterday's tragic incident.
"Our thoughts and heartfelt sympathies remain with the family and loved ones of the man who sadly lost his life.
"The park will be closed today while the staff team who were deeply affected by events receive specialist support.
"Many, many people have contacted us about Altai, the tiger. We can reassure everyone that he is safe and well and will not be euthanised as a result of this incident."
