ACCOMMODATION SUPERTHREAD! Read first post before posting

Yeah this is another super late person looking for a room for the coming year.
I'm in the middle of the leaving cert at the moment so, you know, depending on points this might not even be a issue.

but if anyone could put me in contact with a place to let, I'd reeeeally appreciate a pm about it.

Chilipepper72 · 09-06-2014 6:59pm

Hi,
I'm a 20 year old student going into second year, and I'm looking for other people to share a place with, ideally second years, but I'm not fussy. If anyone's interested please pm me

Pepperr · 10-06-2014 7:04pm

Good luck with that.

angela1711 · 28-06-2014 1:11pm

I was just thinkg about renting on either an apartment or a studio to live in for next year. On all the offers it is written that the lease is a min 1 year and I would like to rent it just for the college months so september until may. Does anyone knows if the landlords are willing to rent it for 10 months or it has to be a full year ?

BauBau19 · 01-07-2014 10:39pm

I paid a deposit of 250 for a Double Bedroom with shared bathroom in Corrib Village. Got there too late so that's all that was left. With the way the leaving cert went, I doubt I'll get the course now

. Really don't know where else to go other than NUIG. Everything I've heard about the place is just a dream.

JackyIRL · 05-07-2014 4:50pm

Hey, I'm a lad going into first year in Maynooth (hopefully). I applied for the campus lottery but to be honest I'd prefer to live in a house off campus, more fun that way. I don't know anyone else heading to NUIM so I'm looking for some housemates.
Okay, I'm a gamer. Pretty hardcore, but not like my entire life depends on it! Also I'm a bass player so it'd be nice to have someone to jam with. I listen to Arctic Monkeys, Green Day, Queens of the stone ago and the like. Not a party animal but I like hanging out with friends.
So that's it for now, if you're interested and have any questions just PM me

Beeatrixx · 08-07-2014 7:48pm

I know I'm just one of the hoards of people who need housing but what the hell.

I'm 21, an Arts student going into my final year and urgently need somewhere to live, from either August or September onwards. I also work part time. I'm the best housemate ever. Seriously. I cook AND bake, ladies and gentleman, I clean but I'm not an obnoxious clean freak, I'm quiet and like my own space but I'm veeerrrrrry laid back and friendly too. Expect no passive aggressive bitchiness or drama from me. I also have a cat who's adorable and house-trained and just chills out on my bed or outside most of the time who I am desperate to bring with me if I can, but if the worst comes to the worst and I find the perfect house that doesn't take pets, my parents are willing to adopt him for the year.

PM IF YOU WANT A LOVELY HOUSEMATE. Please. I'm way better than everyone else. I'll bake you cupcakes.

IkuZero · 11-07-2014 10:40am

Hello!!

Hello, we are two sister who stay in Maynooth only for first semester. It is very difficult to find an accomodation for 4 or 5 months, so we are looking for two people who stay in second semester to let an accomodation together for a year. That is to say, we all get a accomodation for a year in which first semester me and my sister stay on and second semester whoever wants to stay on.

We are very nice, quiet and clean people. We don't like noisy peope!

win24 · 13-07-2014 3:25pm

Hi,
I am a sociology erasmus student from Germany coming to Maynooth from September until the end of December 2014. Like all of us I am searching for some place to live during my stay.
After it´s quite difficult to find something for that short term I thought it would be a good idea to ask students that already live in Maynooth.
So if anybody of you knows someone who has a free room from September until December I would be incredibly happy if you let me now.
I promise not to be drunk, loud or messy

Thanks a lot!
win

DaniKoala · 15-07-2014 7:08pm

Hey guys, if anyone can take a couple it would be greatly appreciated. It's so hard to get a landlord that will accept couples! Im starting second year and my boyfriend is a professional. We're very easygoing and fair, so PM if interested

cheers.

dalmation · 15-07-2014 10:29pm

Hi, I am a 2nd year male student, business and management, looking for accommodation from Sept 2014, walking distance of NUIM
Thanks

GarIT · 17-07-2014 2:32pm

I've a double room in Celbridge if anyone is still looking. There is already a couple in the house and will be another person in the single room. The double room is €250 for a single person or €400 for a couple. Heating, Sky TV and heating is included in the rent; electricity, water and bins are extra and will be divided equally between everyone.

The bus from Celbridge to Maynooth works out at €100 for unlimited travel on 30 non-consecutive days, so if you're in Monday to Friday it works out at about €67 per month. It's about a 5 min walk to the bus the bus takes 8-10 mins outside of rush hour and leaves you in the village.

You can PM if you are interested or have any questions.
Thanks

tomekgw · 21-07-2014 1:02pm

Omg, this sounds very bad for me. People already posted here in June stating that they are a bit "late"...

It's almost August and I havent even thought about where I will live. Well, I did apply for the lottery for the on-campus accomodation. But other than that, I have nothing

And Im abroad until the 8th of August.

And sure, what is the point in looking for accomodation now and then when you get your results and count the points, it will turn out that you didnt get enough?

I will be going into 1st year this year... Will I find it very hard to find a room in Maynooth later on? IF I wont win the lottery of course...

I have also heard that college publishes a list of houses where rooms outside the campus can be found. It's like, a program they have with the house owners. Where can I find this list? Or maybe I heard something wrong. I dont know.

lil.489 · 24-07-2014 11:41am

Hiya I am a final year female student who is looking for an off campus accommodation for myself and three other girls. We are clean, lovely, quiet girls who will spent most of our time in the library - the joys of final years.

If any one knows an house available please free to message me, as we have been searching high and low since end of May and still nothing.

Thanks

Did you check out surrounding areas? Kilcock and Enfield just a few mins away .... very do-able if you are driving and rent might be a little cheaper!

Hiya it would be best for us 4 if we found somewhere close to campus and no none of us can drive, I have a provision but like I have nearly really learned how to drive yet. But thank you for the advice

JellyBeans92 · 25-07-2014 10:03am

For anyone stuck searching for a room, there's a group set up for students looking for accommodation and/or roommates for 2014/2015, Maynooth Accommodation 2014-15 on Facebook.

MaynoothGuy · 25-07-2014 11:49pm

Hey guys, might as well add my name to the list.

Two male students looking for accommodation in Maynooth for the coming academic year. Hope to find a place within walking distance of the college. We don't mind leasing with others or living in an owner occupied house.

Looking for two single rooms (not twin), preferrably in the same house. We are 22 and 28, non-smokers and non-drinkers. We are quiet, friendly lads who like to keep the place clean and aren't interested in house parties. We don't play/listen to loud music.

Send me a message if anything suitable crops up. Thanks

K4t · 26-07-2014 2:23am

College really could have done with investing in some more campus accommodation with the influx of Freobel students. Sounds like an absolute disaster finding somewhere at all, nevermind half decent, and rent prices have increased substantially over the last two years. Poor planning.

Hardly an 'influx' of Froebel students - there are only 300 odd of us with most of the people living in Dublin and commuting. I could've counted the number of Froebel houses on my fingers last year.
None the less i agree with the rest - rent prices are ridiculous and houses are impossible to find which is why I have to throw my hat into the ring too.

2 quiet friendly 3rd year Froebel Student Teachers looking for accomodation - own apartment is preferable but willing to share too. Can commute as we have a car but would also like to cycle i.e. Kilcock.

Long college hours and workload means we dont have time for partying etc. just looking for a nice clean house and quiet study area to come back to at a reasonable price.

It'll probably eventually go up over the sports field.

zl1whqvjs75cdy · 28-07-2014 5:51pm

There is plans for new student accommodation but I wouldn't expect it any time soon. They are too busy flying up vanity projects which we don't need rather than building infrastructure such as houses and car parks. The higher ups don't look as good in a newspaper opening a carpark as they do opening a shiny new (and mostly unnecessary) building.

Diarmuid1995 · 02-08-2014 12:08am

Got room for one more person, unfortunately we were late out of the blocks so the available bed is in a twin room. We're a group of three genuine sound guys with two twin rooms in parklands (about a five minute walk from campus), obviously bed in twin room isn't ideal but at this stage of the year accommodation is drying up fast. PM if interested

viral.prmr · 04-08-2014 9:01am

Hi,

I am joining NUIM for Masters in Business Management. Please help me with the accommodation

Hey,
Im an 18 year old girl going into second year and I'm desperate for somewhere to live! If anyone needs a housemate let me know! I'm quiet and more than likely won't be in the house that often.

Wendero · 04-08-2014 6:24pm

I'm 23 years old, Male, going to do a postgraduate degree in economics. Originally from Sweden, did my undergrad in Maynooth. I'm looking for a place to stay so please let me know if you need a housemate.

fizzlecakes · 05-08-2014 1:44pm

We have a bed going in a twin room in Kingsbry-room mate must be female! We're All third year students. Please PM for more details.

FatherlyNick · 06-08-2014 3:10pm

Does anyone know a good owner occupied place for less than 350€ a month?

stephenbyrne ofwgkta · 06-08-2014 6:25pm

HEY.

My friend Rebecca and I have a house for next year in Kingsbry. We're looking for 4 people, as we have 2 twin rooms to fill. Twin rooms aren't ideal I know but we also all know how hard it is to get a place, and we'd be deadly to live with so it'd make up for it! We're easy going, friendly, and both very tidy. Message me if you're interested

ace of diamonds · 13-08-2014 11:12am

Hi, i have a couple questions about renting a room in Maynooth as I've never done it before.

When you're sharing a house with others, is there a separate contract between each tennant and the landlord or is there one lease for everyone?
And which of the above would be more common do yous think?

secondly, is it possible to rent a room for 9 or 10 months or does it have to be for 12months?

Lastly, if you have to cancel a lease before the 12months is up, what noramlly happens there? Do you get your deposit back?

Thanks a million in advance for any help you can give.

The lease situation is up to the landlord, it can be rented by room or a group of people can rent a whole house together.

The length of the lease is up to the landlord, most will offer a 9 month lease. Because you are about 6 months late you might only be able to find 12 month leases. Nearly everywhere in Maynooth is gone already.

If you cancel before your lease is up you will definitely loose your deposit and will most likely be sued for the rest of the money you owe. Essentially you must pay all the rent for the full lease you signed up to, it is an extremely easy case for the landlord to win.

I'll also add a note to everyone coming from a student, tenant and landlord; using your deposit as the last months rent is illegal, don't do it; it damages the rental market.

queenie154 · 14-08-2014 2:06pm

Hi,are students expected to pay for accommodation during the summer months even if they won't be staying there??

angela1711 · 14-08-2014 3:32pm

If you get on campus accomodation than obviously not.
If you get a privet rented accomodation, that will depend on the contract. If a lease is 12 months than yes you will have to pay for the summer months as well. If the lease is 9 or 10 months than no.

Hey,

It really depends on the landlord you go with; some who cater mostly to students, will give college months. Other places cater to students, phd's, commuters, and maynoothians; most of these places are a years contract. As far as I know all the accomindation above Dunnes store is yearly, and some of the nicer houses, but it really depends on the landlord. It's hard for them to get people during the summer months and they know accomindation is lacking so I'm guessing the savvy minded are getting as much for their buck as they can.

I think if you look at the college accomindation list it'll say yearly or college term. A lot of the good accomindation was taken by continuing students. There was a mad frenzy in May

Hey there!

My friend and I are living about 5/10 mins (walking) away from college and need someone to share a twin room! We're going into second year and its €80 a week and in a class location! I know a twin room isn't ideal but we also all know how hard it is to get a place, but sure we'd have the craic and be fun to live with

We're both tidy and clean, friendly and up for a laugh. Message me if you're interested!

ItsJustLaura · 15-08-2014 11:29am

Hey guys!
So I'll be going into 1st year in a few weeks and I was wondering where is the best and safest place to live? If I don't get on campus I was thinking of maybe going into digs. Whats peoples experiences from digs before?
I'd like to live in an area that's a walking distance to the college. Where would be the best?
Thanks in advance for your help

zl1whqvjs75cdy · 15-08-2014 3:29pm

I think safety wise the whole town is pretty ok, you don't hear many (or any) reports of serious crime. You get the usual young lads thinking they are Mike Tyson after a half bottle of beer but you can just avoid muppets like that easily. Accommodation wise I'd say you are definely going to be in the "beggars can't be choosers" boat at this late stage. A lot of the property has been snapped up already. Its tough to get somewhere out here. Keep your fingers crossed for on campus.

9bred4 · 15-08-2014 4:44pm

What about accom that isn't digs? Finding it hard to find anything
