It will make a big difference if you are renting a house for your family, are single or couple renting in a house share or being a lodger/licensee.

Jesus, I'm moving to Mountmellick in the morning.

1,050 euros for a 2 bed, 1 bathroom apt in the IFSC. Have a car space included in the rent. Don't have to pay extra for it. A lot of my neighbours do.

filmbuffboy

175 euros a month for a box room. I'm a student, otherwise I'd prob be renting a bigger room

nadel302008

100 pw on a 2bed house rural

Shelli2

1100 for a 3 bed house in Glasnevin, however, we are moving to a much bigger 4 bed house for the same price on 1st June. Have been in current house for 2 years, and over last year rent has dropped in the area but LL refused many requests for rent reduction, so now were finally moving.....would have done it much sooner but the absolute pain of packing up a whole family made me lazy

530 for ensuite double room in 3 bed apartment

500 for a 3 bed semi, the whole house. Big town in Co.Cork.

Hope you don't mind me asking but where in Mountmellick?
I hope your moving to a good part of town,as there is one estate that has a bad reputation.

Think he was only joking because your rent is such good value compared to renting in Dublin!!

maximoose

€360 per month for a big double bedroom in a 4 bed house. Dublin city centre.

bget

€600 per month for studio apartment in Dublin city centre

Juicyfruit

€1050 per month for 4 bed, 3 bathroom house in West Dublin - huge house with back and front gardens and a large side entrance and garage!

Split between 2 of us so 525 per month, looking at it now t'is quite a bargain!

Max Power1

650 pm
1 bed cottage/terrace in bluebell

OakeyDokey

140 per month two bedroom house. Kilkenny.

I'm still on the same rent as I was in 2009 & 2010- paying €650 for a 2 bed in Dublin 11, inside the m50 but just about. 5 miles from town and the bus does it in 30-35 minutes, or 20 minutes on the motorbike

I've got a bargain as my landlady emigrated to Canada and was more concerned about having a good tenant than getting the extra 100-150 per month she could have. I also do whatever DIY/ maintenance there is rather than putting her out.
Comes with two parking spots also which is handy. As is living in an apartment that was owner occupied before I arrived- it means there is decent furniture rather than those black 'leather' sofas that are in 50% of Daft rental photographs (Bargaintown or Cost Plus Sofas I'm guessing, the Irish landlords favourite shops :rolleyes:)

I'd love to move southside though as I prefer it over there and most friends are in that direction. But don't because even going as far south as Stepaside / Rathfarnham I don't think I'd find a 2 bed for less than €900, don't mind the €650 I'm paying now....

coco_lola

€1,100 for a 2 bed apartment in Clontarf. Parking and bins included.

The only point this whole thread makes is how a vast majority are being shafted on rent. :pac:

Anyone know what the percentage of rent is being propped by the government? That way we can understand the reality of rent and not these inflated costs.

that may be so, but not in the area we currently live in and certainly not as new or in as good condition as our current place.

ash23

Janey_Mac

Rent for the whole household for a large 3 bedroom house in Dublin 1 €1600. My partner and I pay €400 each of that.

zef

450e for a 3 bed in a quiet estate in D15. Here 16 years.
I am related to the Landlord, the rent would be 1k+ otherwise.
I am very grateful & thankful

Sleepy

€1,000 per month for a 3 bed terrace in Clontarf.

Other 3 beds in the area seem to be quite a bit higher rent wise but we're renting as good as unfurnished and the house could do with some modernising (awful insulation, storage heaters etc.)
