    Evening boardsies.
    Here is a new one on me...Friend of a renter here who has been in a house 8 years. House going for sale soon..Due to covid restrictions landlord wont/cant be able to visit and has asked his agent to look after sale...Agent cant/wont visit either due to restrictions and now wants tenant to take pics of the house and send them on...Does tenant have to send them on? Is he under any obligation to send them on...its odd...no notice etc just asked to send on pics

    That’s hell of a lazy agent. Under level 5 I understand but under level 3 agents have been selling and letting properties.

    Or could do the decent thing and help some one out.

    Why is people initial response to act like a d1ck?

    I've seen some photos on Daft.ie of properties with unmade beds, toys scattered all over the floors, dirty dishes in the kitchen sink, stained toilets etc....must have being disgruntled tenants who took the pics!

    He is under no obligation to do anything for the agent or the landlord.

    He should reply and offer to do it for a reasonable fee. The pros typically charge a couple hundred or so for a basic single property shoot; since he's probably not a pro, he could try, say, €100 or something. If (when) the agent declines, he can politely thank them for the offer, but let them know he's not interested in working for them for free.

    Because the agent is getting paid a tonne and wants to offload the work to the tenant for free.

    There is a whole industry around taking photos of properties for €€€
