Who'd live in a house like this? Part 2

375 a month to share a room with 2 other people?
Who in their right mind is going to go for that? Surely a bit outside the city you'd manage to get your own single bedroom for around 400.
There's no way living in that location is worth having no privacy

Also the modern facilities are BY the house. So is the kitchen around the corner?

English is not be certain the first tongue of the landlord.

What a complete and utter turd, the complete wrongness of the design, exterior and interior, look at the 2 main internal rooms! We have more attractive prefab storerooms at work.

That is shocking

This is a bit special ...

It is really like many of the old bedsitters...

Is there even space to open the oven? :eek:

Honestly, I have no idea how LL's think it's acceptable to put something as cramped as that on the market. You'd nearly treat cattle better :rolleyes:

Could be worse!
You could be renting the bed for only the night, someone else working the night shift could have it for the day.
It's also bad if you're on the right side of the double bed, assuming it's been rented as a 3up room.

I don't get it. Why the need to squeeze in this additional bed? why not just rent it to a couple with the double bed in it for the 1200? If the rent for 3 people is 400 per person =1200 in all, it's still a bargain for 1200 for a couple. Or did I miss something..?

It's in the detail if the Daft.ie advert. The renter is looking to share the cost of the apartment(?) with one other person - hence the 'other' bed ..

You would really need to get on very well with the other person, be very tidy and extremely understanding ....

I'd say Id last about 5 seconds at best ...

if you were in desperate need of a roof over your head and a bed, you would be amazed what you could do.. trust me on that

I absolutely would not have the patience myself, I couldn't be living that close to a stranger

This thread stopped being funny some time ago. Maybe we can rename it Tragic Houses/Flates to rent.

Trust me madam - I'd be sleeping under some good clean bushes in a field first ...

Unfortunately Tragedy & Comedy are often bedfellows on this thread. With Tragedy taking centre stage for sometime now. Most notable was the early identification of the one singular marker of tragic accommodation - The 'Crying chair'

And here is a photo of one of the very first "Crying chairs" ever featured on this thread some eight years ago...

Inaccurate title... not very polite?... And i fully and sincerely hope that you are never in a real life situation to have to think of that. Many are .. better a place like that than a shop doorway.. Life has realities

€1200 a month for a bedsit is NOT a bargain.
That is shocking.

that is the real problem, the outrageous cost of accommodation .

sympathy here. I JUST got into a council property in a place no one wanted to live before the rental situation got so bad. Now there is almost nothing I could afford on rent allowance etc.
my place is very basic and simple but it is a roof and a safe place.

That was my own response. I like bushes.
I'm sure some others might consider the 'apartment' as a option ...

Madam /ˈmædəm/, or, as French, madame/ˈmædəm/ or /məˈdɑːm/,[1] is a polite form of address for women, often contracted to ma'am /ˈmæm/. The abbreviation is "Mme" or "Mme" or "Mdm" and the plural is mesdames(abbreviated "Mmes" or "Mmes" or "Mdms"). The term was borrowed from the Frenchmadame (French pronunciation: ​[maˈdam]), which means "my lady".

This is the house equivalent of severe mental illness.

re your words re madam; yes I know all that but I am not your lady etc etc etc, and these days it has a sarcastic overtone..

PS I like bushes too but in Ireland they tend to be rather wet and insecty. and unsafe... I think you would hate where I live too, but there we are...
