    I used to live two doors down from there. Price looks about right, all things considered. I'm sure they'll rent it in no time.

    This is along the 145 and 46a. Anyone looking to rent a place like this isn't going to have a car. Dublin Bikes is right outside the door too. Great for working in city centre. Might be able to get it for 700-750 - it's hard to find anything in that price range that doesn't require sharing accommodation.

    700-750?

    For that piece piece of crap. I'd consider €300 for it.

    What's the floor area
    20 m2 ?

    Its aimed at poor people
    Poor people always get shafted

    People should live in a decent sized dwelling and their budget should dictate location.
    Otherwise developers would have people living in shoebox's
    But doesn't that happen already.
    As long as fools (poor people) are prepared so settle for less, there will be predators willing to exploit them.
    At the risk of sounding like a boastful asshole, I share 200 m2 with my wife and 2 young kids. I despise shoebox landlords but have zero respect for their willing victims.

    For some people a shoebox is better than having to get a shared room in a bigger house. I believe there is a clamour for legislation to stop people renting these people out but that will only drive prices up more. If you only need a place to sleep this is grand particularly if it's only for short term. I'd have no bother living in a place like that for a while if it wasn't cold or mouldy, wouldn't pay 800 quid for it though

    It's on Leeson St, there's your answer there. Doesn't look that bad either, was expecting a lot worse.

    It's a hole. And a dangerous one at that.

    There's a much bigger bedsit going for 750 just off aungier street. Which has everything you mentioned.

    It's in a posh part of Dublin city, very near the centre. 800 seems standard even for that. I'd like to think you could get more bang for your buck in Dublin, but reality is you can't.

    You can. People like you think you can't and end up paying that, but you can. Even in D4.

    If no-one rented it then price would fall I'd think. Is that not how free market works?

    It's not a free market, the rents are fixed by the rent allowance and there are thousands of
    properties withheld by NAMA.

    Not wanting to get off topic, but most of the Nama held properties are already being rented out.

    It looks clean and tidy. Thats a lot more than I can say about about 80% of the places I looked at. Most places have mould. Dublin landlords just can't get enough of fricking mould.

    How long do you think it will stay mould free when you have the shower in your bedroom which is also your kitchen and living room?

    Especially when the only heating appears to be a small electric oil filled radiator

    That last flower picture is a mirror image of the other picture featuring the flower, microwave and sink, mirror etc are on opposite sides; perhaps they mirrored it in photoshop, perhaps.

    They took the photo through the mirror on the wall to give the place a wider feel :pac:

    Having worked in a few of those late Georgian/early Victorian Leeson St buildings for enough years to know their various possible layouts backwards, I have to conclude that this -cough- apartment is in the rear basement (or just possibly the front steps). So no sunlight is getting near that 'window' for 8 months of the year. On the other hand, the Leaning Tower of Powercity aside, it mightn't be too awful if you were just staying there during the week, and you were working long hours in town. I've stayed in worse, certainly - but never for €800.

    Do rental properties not have to be certified before they are put on the market? Because if that's not something we currently have we should be put in place. I may be quite naive but I think it's frickin shocking places like that are being rented out. And that place is clean! I have seen photos of far worse. We should have minimum standards for habitable accommodation, that are enforced. People shouldn't be ridden by disreputable landlords like this. That place is a death trap.

    We seriously need to get rent control. It is pricing a lot of people out of Dublin and or back home. 800 for that is just plain mental

    You would want to be mental! I'd rather pay for a hostel!

    Edit: yeah sorry mods I couldn't find the present thread in accommodation and property. So thought it would be more suited here.

    Welcome to my tomb!

    That is unreal, I pay less for a 3 bed house, granted it's not in Dublin.

    But if all you want is location, location, location then you're welcome to this compact and bijoux studio!
