Its getting out of control

I pay the equivalent of €850 per month for a 2 bed, looks twice maybe three time the size of that place, 4kms from the city centre. This is why I'm afraid to move back to Ireland.

Honestly that doesn't even look that bad compared to other kip bedsits in the same price range.

Stay where you are bud

Jesus that's grim, but to be honest I've seen worse looking for the same or more , a mate of mine ended up paying €850 for a kippy 1 bed studio last year that had a beer fridge as the actual fridge. if you've already gotten out i wouldn't give a second thought to coming back , no chance of this issue improving in the short term.

Things are awful bad, worse than the emergency

WTF that's insane.

Newly decorated and refurbished [By SVP] one bedroom apartment available in a well maintained, quiet house.
Translation: We've thrown up some stud wall, you'll be able to hear next door snoring, let alone anything else.

Original working fireplace.
Which we couldn't be arsed to re tile. May be only working heating come December.

Great location beside Mater hospital, short walk to O'Connell st. Bus routes, aircoach, Dublin bike stand seconds from door.
For getting the feck out of dodge.

Cafes, shops and parks very nearby.
Because cooking in that kitchen is going to be nigh on impossible.

On street residential parking. It is a self-contained, calm hide-away but close to the action.
A wall directly outside the living room window hides the junkies in the area.

Can't see how that meets the minimum standards:

They must also provide facilities for cooking and for the hygienic storage of food, to include the following:

4-ring hob with oven and grill
Cooker hood or extractor fan
Fridge and freezer, or a fridge-freezer

That is utterly depressing. If I had to pay €1000 a month for that I would cry.
What's also depressing is that it's had 1571 views in less than two days.

It's the kind of place that the destitute go to die. Sadly, this isn't close to the worst of them.

it actually doesnt look to bad

I feel awful for anyone looking to rent at the moment. And have no idea how families manage to rent family homes, the rents seem to be sometimes in excess of what the mortgage would be

That looks like a paradise compared to my place, but then I am not paying a grand a month for it.

Lived around there for a while myself. Lots of old houses and lots of lazy landlords. Stick a cooker in a room in a house, put a bed in there, bit of running water and you're ready to go.

Rents started to exceed equivalent mortgages a long time ago, like back in 2013..

sad state of affairs right there ewwwwwwww

Further to my post about stuff like this discouraging me to return to ireland, i was intrigued to see in Brisbane what the same price would get you for a one bedroom unit at a similar location from the city centre. This unit works out at approx 750 euro a month. Ok its not furnished, but based on the OP thats not always a bad thing.

Not trying to do a here is better than there or anything, its just so disheartening to look at the difference, especially when wages are higher here. I follow this forum to keep an eye on the situation for if i ever return home, so i always take great interest in theads like these

I know. If that was in Dublin 16 I'd honestly consider this place. 1k for that is not that bad. Yes thats how bad things have gotten.

That place is in a building we don't seem to have very many of, a small self-contained apartment block. Our version of that is mainly large old houses converted into a few units, and the quality of the conversion differs wildly.

The original one posted at a grand doesn't look that bad compared to this :eek: What a dump.

Opening viewing, so they'll probably end up a few people wanting to take it.

I lived in plenty of dives similar to those examples when I was a student & in my early 20s. Usually with other fellow sufferers though and the craic was good.

The main problem now is that the dives are pricey. At least back in my day - a dive was cheap.
