Desperately looking for house to rent

All over Ireland? Does that mean you aren't working?

they could be remote working, who knows!

This is why boards is so great. Every person so far came into the thread not to offer help but to cast judgement on the OP.

Many areas have facebook groups for property rentals, you could try joining them OP. But the one in my area is all people looking for property, hardly anything posted for vacancies.

I've been looking for a 1 or 2 BR flat for the past year and a half. On daft there has been 0 property to rent in town for that entire time period. It's a joke.

If you are using the above to find a place, ask yourself if you were a landlord based on what you have written would this encourage a landlord to approach you. Would help if you say if the children are adults. You did say as Donald Trump said it does imply there is another adult you have not mentioned or your children are adults. If you are working say it. Your budget etc.

You are not being evicted unless you have not carried out the obligations as a tenant. E.g anti social non payment of rent not looking after the property. You have been given notice to leave. Your words would not put you in good light.

Suggest contact letting agents in the area you would like to live in. Have references, proof of income, work and character reference ready to go. Present yourself at the office as if you are going for an interview. You may find that they have properties ready to go for the right person. Ask your landlord if they will give you a reference. Have previous reference handy as well.

I cannot see the big thing about Daft and everyone using it as a marker from rentals. There are other avenues to find a rental property. Ask your friends and family to put the word out you are looking for a place. If your children are in school ask other families if they know a place.

I have used Daft 4 times in 15 years and in all cases I got a tenant through word of mouth. Many potential tenants do not read the advertisement anyway. Maybe that is why there are such few properties advertised on it.

Good luck with your search.

yup, plenty of judgmental arseholes on boards alright

Or maybe people clicked in out of curiosity and wonder how the situation is so desperate but the conditions of a detached 3 bed are so important. If I was desperately trying to put a roof over the head of my child I wouldn't be so picky.

What's wrong with a 2 bed apartment?

There was a single mother of 1 child on newstalk breakfast on Thursday saying she needs a 4 bedroom house. Why? And then she had the cheek to say the government has let her down. Not her own pride and selfishness, the government. And

Well then don't set criteria of a 3 bed detached house as the base level requirements

Ah stop. If the situation is as desperate as made out to be then you ask does anybody have any accommodation, roof and plumbing required, everything else optional. Does she want a 4 poster bed too? And I'm assuming a north facing garden won't be tolerated.

Yet the logical thought is there to admirably say that anywhere in Ireland is acceptable. You're wrong, if there's a desperate requirement to house children here then you take anything you get, you don't set criteria that has you competing against tech employees with deep pockets.

Simple solution to that nonsense, offer her an appropriate house in her area and if she declines then it's straight to the very end of the housing list. Cut this entitlement out overnight.

edit: PM this sort of info, and don't expect a reply

Your contributions to Accommodation forum and Work Problems forms are Thatcherite pull yourself up and stop claiming put downs.

A poster can present themselves with a genuine difficulty and get told to work or starve.

Never a mention of HAP, the landlords dole or the the business supports that companies were happy to claim during lockdown and lay staff off when it ends.

And yet like me you are not a 1% percent elite self made millionaire, just an ordinary worker and no shame in that

So why do you look down on everyone?
