Dear all, Hi, I am new to the club, and have a question about a particular grammar structure that I saw on sentence correction of my previous GMAT exam. Since I am not native, I did not know about this structure and tried to search on the internet, though have not found a comprehensive explanation.
I do not remember exactly the question, since the exam was 2 months ago, but recently saw the same structure on a web site. So the structure is something like this:
"Should you be unable to secure college room, rental property in London is plentiful"
Please help me better understand the rules for using this grammar structure, and the particular meanings that it conveys.
Thank you so much.

"Should you be unable to secure college room, rental property in London is plentiful"
This is a conditional sentence which means in effect that < if you are unable to get a room in the college hostel, you can look for some privately rented rooms in the rental property market. Here ‘rental property’ is a collective noun that stands for those rooms that are especially let out for students. So you must look in to the rental properly classified ad, and you have plenty of those rooms
Should is used in the place of ‘if’ when the event in the conditional clause is unlikely to happen. For e.g.,
"Should you be unable to secure college room,( meaning that it is very unlikely that your college may not be able to give you room,) rental property in London is plentiful"
