All bills included isnt bad, like, its still well above what anyone should pay for sleeping in a box room with a kitchenette but there have been a lot worse posted on this thread that cost more with no bills.

Isnt there a law coming in a few months that is supposed to outlaw a 'bedsit'?

No, Its being scrapped, It was due several years ago around 2009/2009 but it won't be happening now, Some landlords here that had stopped renting out bedsits few years back waiting for the law to change have reopened those bedsits for rent. That's what happens when you have shíte public representative's.

House for rent in Cork. Have a look at the sitting room. I know it's a student house but surely a couch doesn't cost that much?

i'd well believe it, seen some horrible places in the 90's, never thought i'd see it again.

as for the law, they'd probably just try and rename it to 'studio'

a 'contemporary' studio, all modern cons, cons indeed.

u_c_thesecond · 20-06-2012 2:03am

My 1st flat was 140 a week back in 2005

its was 2 rooms- kitchen and sitting room together- and bedroom and bathroom together- there was literly a room divider (the chinese ones) between the bed and the toilet

at the time i didnt care cos i was 18 and thick and i just wanted freeddom but now looking back i was some dope paying that for that flat!

and heres a sketch:D think of a big country kitchen- and that was the size of the whole place:(

Heat and internet included, in phibsboro. I have seen plenty worse, that is actually quite good.

Buddinplant · 20-06-2012 4:11am

I remember my houseshare, Near DCU in 2006...

80 quid a week. bills included.

the sitting room was converted into a bedroom for 2,
garage was a bedroom for two,
there was a single bed in with the boiler...
think we had 12 persons 'living' there. More if we take into account the revolving door policy. I moved in half an hour before the girl moved out.
Thankfully downstairs loo had a shower installed, so us living on the ground floor didnt have to go up stairs ever!
Tiniest kitchen. learned to eat stuff a student shouldnt have to, just from lack of cooking time and cooking utensils.
Pasta and burgers cooked in same pot+water not a rare sight.

Mental not even the word.

It is being scrapped? Since when? There has been no amendment to the Statutory Instrument.

I'm sorry, but I would rather live in a tent or a hostel than fork over that amount on pure principle, especially these days with everyone fleeing this sinking country.

Came across this one today, bargain for €750, even comes with a free knife!

It appears to be a shed, there's a knife stuck into the front of it and whoever is renting it out didn't even bother cleaning up.

Also, where the hoover is gave us a few giggles.

The photographer is a midget.

I had that same tv as in the bedroom in my first flat in 1998!

Some Russians and Italians hold the superstition that sticking a knife near the door wards of evil. Maybe that's what the knife is about?

Id say its stuck into the door lock cos someone lost the keys.

wonderfulname · 29-06-2012 9:01am

I missed the knife! I'd say it's stuck in the door because it's where duggy lived with that housemate...

Me thinks I've been on boards too long...

CMpunked · 29-06-2012 12:15pm

Two friends are chatting on the way from town to person one's house.

Renter: "I love my little house"

Friend: "But its small"

Renter: "Its more quaint than small"

Friend: "It looks like a shed.."

Renter: "Its my quaint little log cabin in the city."

Friend: "DCU is not in the city and its definitely a converted shed."

Renter: "It doesnt matter, i love it anyway."

They approach the 'house'

Friend: "Someone has stuck a knife in the wall..."

Renter: "... Time to move."

Someone must have checked the thread!

*looks at letting agents name*

Hi Candy!

Looking at the new pics its not much better. You're basically living in a conservatory. Which can't be much warmer than a shed!

inforfun · 13-07-2012 1:54pm

Ok, not for rent but for sale in Amsterdam.
Only €120.000 for all those 13 m2

Text is in Dutch but the pictures will tell the story.

Lovely flat in fairness. Is it your property you're marketing?

inforfun · 13-07-2012 1:59pm

Eh, no. Wouldnt even want to be found dead in Amsterdam.

It may look well made that flat but you are talking €9000/m2 living space.

the ad says 1 double bedroom but the photo shows a single bed in there. and not alot of room for a double bed

Rasmus · 13-07-2012 2:52pm

The blue blanket on the bed is straight from the 70s. I had one just like it.

it is, on top of the sofa there is something you pull.
Plus, the duvet is "stored" on a shelf above the sofa.

lifelongnoob · 13-07-2012 2:57pm

honestly i really wish the government enforced the minimum square metres rule when it came to rented accomodation. Landlords seem to get away with renting out shoeboxes for exhorbitant rents.

These guidelines are issued without prejudice to the provisions of the Local Government (Planning and Development) Acts, 1963 to 1993, the Building Control Act, 1990, the Fire Services Act, 1981, any regulations made under those Acts and the regulations under the Housing Acts relating to private rented housing accommodation and are also without prejudice to the statutory development plan.

One bedroom apartment:
(two bedspaces) Recommended Minimum Areas
Living area 11 sq. metres
Kitchen area 5 sq. metres
Dining area 4 sq. metres
Bathroom
Bedroom 10.2 sq. metres
Storage area 1.5 sq. metres
(excluding area occupied by hot water cylinder)
Circulation area

Total Floor Area
38 sq. metres

Two bedroom apartment:
(three bedspaces) Recommended Minimum Areas
Living area 13 sq. metres
Kitchen area 5 sq. metres
Dining area 6 sq. metres
Bathroom area
Bedroom (Double) 10.2 sq. metres
Bedroom (Single) 6.5 sq. metres
Storage area 2.5 sq. metres
(excluding area occupied by hot water cylinder)

55 sq. metres

Three bedroom apartment:
