The New York rental apartment Heath Ledger died in has been put back on the market, the New York Post reports.

Three weeks after the actor was found dead in his bed after accidentally overdosing on prescription drugs, the Broome Street, Soho pad he had rented since September for approximately $22,000 per month is being offered up.

The vast apartment is 10 times the size of many Manhattan homes, with 4,400 square feet of floor space, and features three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, an office, laundry room, wood-burning fireplace, kitchen and balcony.

Sources said that it is now being offered for around 25,000 a month.

A real estate agent told the New York Post: "You don't wait around in a hot rental market like this. As ghoulish as it sounds, people will rent that place in a heartbeat, especially when the vacancy rate is below one per cent."
