How much is your Rent? (2003)

How much rent do you pay (per person, per month, excluding utility bills)?

bubbles · 02-01-2003 5:18pm

Jesus Victor, you're like a nutter posting ****e just to keep the Accommodation board alive. Why does being a mod mean so much to you? With any luck this board will be nuked in the next cleanup!

I mean when it comes to the stage when you have to make every thread a sticky to keep it from disappearing its time to call it a day

Jeez, i never realised i had it so good. €180 per month for an ensuite room with small office in new dormer (top to myself). Share with 2 others. Mind you it's in Mayo.

bug · 17-02-2003 4:34pm

I live in the city centre in something no bigger than the average office. its 1 bed and costs 860 euro a month. I've been living there 3 years and haven't seen my lanlord since the day I signed the lease. On top of that there is a press in my bedroom with a 4 and 1/2" waste pipe running through it and it leaks every few months. When the person upstairs takes a Sh**e I can hear the water running down the pipe.....lovely.Can someone tell me if this is against health and safety law. The pipe isn't covered in-I thought waste pipes were supposed to be external???

The leak is a problem alright, you are within your rights to ask the landlord to sort it. The risk is it might remind him to raise the rent. If he refuses, write to him insisting that it be done. If he again refuses write to him saying you will have the work done and deduct it from the rent.

It is usual to have these pipes internal for aestethic reasons. Planning permission will almost insist on this and there are no rules against it.

It should however be boxed in to protect it from damage and reduce noise (using mineral wool insulation). Is there any risk that you did the damage yourself?

bug · 18-02-2003 12:31pm

Thanks for that-I imagine that there were problems with it before I moved in and that's why the cladding etc has been removed. In any case I don't care anymore because I'm moving back to Mammies:) ,unfortunatley! I'm sick of having no money!!!

Synkronite · 18-02-2003 12:37pm

Ill be going to Sweden to study next year- accomodation is oncampus and costs 300euro per month which includes an ensuite room, electricity, heating, 10Mbps internet connection, a little wash basin kind of sink, it's quite small but very comfy.

In Ireland the 10Mbps internet connection alone would be more expensive than the room in Sweden.

DapperGent · 10-03-2003 2:12pm

Moving into an apartment beside the Four Courts next week.

Rent is €550 per month.

I'll be poor but happy.

Yeah you'd have to take out a mortgage for the connection

Cabaal · 24-05-2003 3:24pm

DundalkDuffman · 23-06-2003 11:38pm

Rent is €135 per month for a three bedroomed house. Very basic but about a ten minute walk from Dundalk centre. And thats only two of us in it. It would be €45 per person but our student moved out, Damn students, going home for the summer!

Not next to Roches stores is it? Sounds like my old apartment (is the apartment no. 7?).:eek:

Anyway, now paying 950pm for a nice 1bed with cable and all mod cons, but it comes with a parking space, which we don't use, and we rent it out for 150pm to someone working in a nearby office, so we're down to 800pm in D2, 10mins walk from Grafton St, with locked gates and CCTV just in case.

Very secure anyway, and we're happy. were paying 1250pm in Blackrock for a 2 bed that we weren't using and ended up moving out because my g/f was spending an hour travelling into town on the bus for work. now she walks it in 10mins, and my Dart journey has been more than cut in half.

DundalkDuffman · 24-06-2003 5:57pm

Damn, 135€ per week of course !!

greenday chick · 24-08-2003 5:39pm

I'm renting a 3 bedroom house in Laois for 200pm.
Admittedly it's in the middle of nowhere but I drive so it's not a problem.
It was uninhabitated for 3-4 years and in pretty poor condition but I spent the summer evenings doing bits and pieces around the place and am perfectly happy here now. Also got the first 6 months ESB free as a thank you for sorting the place out.

shoegirl · 09-12-2003 11:29am

€140 per week for a good big one bedroomed flat in Cork city. ESB is included and so electric heating is free for me. I have a large double bedroom, living room, toilet, shower room, kitchen and a small hall. Its bright and well lit as its on the top floor at the top of a hill and so very nice. I don't know anybody paying as much in the city, but I know people paying not much less to share new apartments.

The free ESB is a huge boon to the place - I have timers on electric heaters which effectively gives me a central heating system. Also its a good solid fire door with mortice lock so quite secure. My neighbours are the quietest ever and the landlord is great and lives over the road so things get fixed quickly.

Paying €500 for a double room near Booterstown! What really p*sses me off is waiting for cab late at night. I am (male, single, need parking) thinking of moving to City Centre area (I work near Merrion Sq). Thanks in advance for suggestions!
