    Im looking for an apartment at the moment and all the decent ones have a 1 year lease on them, but I probably wont be staying that long. What would happen if I left like 3 months early or something? Would I just lose my deposit or could he sue me? Thanks

    Both could happen. If you suspect you may be leaving early, just ask can you agree to a shorter lease or if you can include a cluse whereby you would be responsible for providing a suitable replacement tenent if you leave.

    Rents are falling at the moment and having a wad of cash in you hand may encourage a lanlord to settle for a shorter period. However, there is the risk of having ot pay a higher rent.

    Just one more question now that you mentioned the rent price, is around €800-€900/month the going rate for a dublin city centre apartment? particularly looking at the ifsc

    Yeah, €900 seems about right. IFSC is likely to be €100-200 more expensive and potentially a lot more expensive. You are probably better off financially if you can get someone to share a two-bed for €1,300-1,500.

    http://www.daft.ie/ and use > Rent > Full Search Options will give you a good guide to prices (remember these are asking prices and with a bit a dropping price a landlord might agree a slightly lower rent, especially if you agree to a lease).
