You would want to be mental! I'd rather pay for a hostel!

Edit: yeah sorry mods I couldn't find the present thread in accommodation and property. So thought it would be more suited here.

I like the last photo with the flower in the window.

The door looks nice though, so there's that

Fridge microwave kennel?

It's on Leeson St, there's your answer there. Doesn't look that bad either, was expecting a lot worse.

Fr. Ned

They'll get it too.
Enda's well planned housing strategy is working well (for mega rich landlords)....

Me as well ... it really ties the room together

If you don't like it, don't rent it.

Without the flower its probably worth 750 a month, but the flower deffo gives it value at 800:D

What's the problem?

€800 for a city centre apartment seems about right.

Another pointless bank holiday thread?

Fr. Ned

Is there anywhere to hang your socks?

Take a look at London prices for insanity :O

With that mentality it's no wonder people are being taken for a ride...

You could do a dump, fap, take something from the fridge and put it in the microwave while laughing at the pet in the kennel with the glass door, without getting up from the throne. Cheap at twice the money

Captain Chaos

Superglue a giant cardboard box to the ground anywhere in the city centre and you can charge €800 for it. Heck even €900 and let them haggle you down to 8.

I like the way the basin seems to empty into the toilet (12th picture down).

Could be a good way of saving water

If no-one rented it then price would fall I'd think. Is that not how free market works?

It's hardly what you'd call an apartment though,is it?

Bedsit? Though I thought they were illegal?

I used to have a small clothes-line for drying tea-bags.

I take my washing up into the shower and eat while siting on the jacks, saves time and money.

Wouldn't fit the love handles in that loo. Talk about claustrophobic!

My God, that's a monstrosity. I have wide shoulders so there is no way I'd fit into that toilet facility. €800 a month :eek: for that. And it would feel like everything was on-top of you it's soo cramped. Not good at all for that price, insane really.

It looks clean and tidy. Thats a lot more than I can say about about 80% of the places I looked at. Most places have mould. Dublin landlords just can't get enough of fricking mould.

Greenmachine

apartment does not meet minimum statutory requirement. 4 hob minimum in kitchen, this place has two. Shower in the same living space, as bedroom come kitchen. Looks clean but a death trap.

http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/housing/renting_a_home/repairs_maintenance_and_minimum_physical_standards.html

Facilities for cooking and for the hygienic storage of food, for example, a 4-ring hob with oven and grill, fridge-freezer and microwave ove

Gael23

Whats worse is someone will pay it. Housing is in such short supply in Dublin someone will be desperate enough to take that place

No Crying Chair either. Standards are slipping.

Its a studio apt. Perfectly legal.

Compact and bijou.

I heard theres a boards.ie special discount for anyone that wants to rent it

Free market often doesn't account for stupid people.

Is it legal to cover the ventilation system of a microwave?

Would an electrician certify that setup?

Worrying.

Honest to God, worrying.

riffmongous

I'd say it's awfully 'cozy'

punisher5112

I feel sorry for anyone that has to stoop as low to take a place like that.

Places like that should be shut down and that includes the ones even worse then that.

I done work in places like that and there were 8 or more depending on size of house.

No to bare minimum insulation, lots of damp, cramped and smelly with old rotten furniture and carpets etc etc.

These LL are absolutely minted as they made big money out of these dives in the 80's and still are now as they can get away with charging crazy money no wonder the rents are so high.

I had to move out of Dublin and that wasn't the city centre I was in and now the prices are shooting up as the market has gone nuts and everyone is having to travel further to get anything.

It's in a posh part of Dublin city, very near the centre. 800 seems standard even for that. I'd like to think you could get more bang for your buck in Dublin, but reality is you can't.

Mrs Garth Brooks

Ah jaysus, you've no space on the toilet to reach behind and wipe yourself.

€800 for that, that has to be a joke.

CentimoSal

The exclamation mark suggests some sort of price scandal....

This is slightly above my yardstick of 'meh' - but it's so easy to forget broadband and electricity

I think thats what the pipe from the basin is for.

1. Run basin of water
2. Take dump
3. Lean forward take out plug from basin
4. Job done

Hobbits need only apply

How gratifying it must be to laugh at those who live in places like this.

Does it make your malicious glee all the more delicious knowing that vast swathes of people live in places like this?

For shame, AH.

For shame.

You can get better for less around the same general area. The landlord is just using the street name to rip the piss with the price!

As it's currently for rent, then techincally there isn't anyone living there...

If that's the sort of reasoning that you use to absolve yourself of the blood on your hands, so be it.

A lot of chatter recently about rents. Not much that I can recall from 6 or 8 years ago when they were much higher. Unless I read this wrong the index was at 100 7 years ago and has not yet reached 90 in any sector following a steep decline to well below 80.

https://www.esri.ie/irish_economy/rent-index/historical_reports/PRTBRentIndex2014Quarter1report.pdf

It's a bit like people saying how hard it is to get on the property ladder now. Ignoring that fact that prices have more or less halved in the last few years. And ignoring that fact that for most years of a typical mortgage over the last 40 years interest rates were in double figures, going has high has 18%. It was always hard for people renting and buying property, just a fact of life.
