Following further investigation, the landlord admitted to collecting rent for 16 other dwellings in the city which were also constructed using questionable building materials, including mechano, straw bales and one house made from Bord Na Mona briquettes.

Straw bale houses are actually a thing though!

*(I'm afraid to find out...)

Must've been a discount on red paint. No one can love a colour THAT much!

When I left Dublin in 2009 I was renting a 1 bed flat in Phibsborough for about €700 a month. Most recently my sister was paying the same rent to share a house with 4 other people. It is insane how bad it's gotten and I can't see it getting any better any time soon.

I was renting a big one bed in Santry for €700.00 up to 2017!! Last I heard, same place was renting out at €1350 per month. Crazy.

I bet there are very few people who have had a similar increase in income over the past 10 years.

Landlords :pac:

Fake news. Tax is the same for everyone.

Yes. I'm sure landlords incomes have stagnated and all those ridiculous increases are because of the taxman.

Yep. My landlord increased my rent by 40%. I'm sure every penny of that is going to the taxman. And in my case I know he's paid off the mortgage so it's not like he was losing money on that. the increase was purely for the taxman

Anyways, there's loads of threads about rent. Maybe should move the discussing there rather than derailing one of my favourite threads? (Yes, I realise the irony of posting what I did and then posting this. I also realise it's backseat modding. But i do really like this thread. It's one of the few I subscribe to)

That has to be a piss take. Even if it was per month and not per week, it'd still be disgusting but at least it'd make sense.

Isnt Malik a male name. Smacks of someone subletting for profile to me.

He's probably got the wardrobes sublet to a small farmer.

yeah, you realised the irony, so why not refrain from posting here and go look for a 'landlord thread' or anything?

quite bold, your attitude, I would say, or in other words gtfo.

Seriously though, some of these places for rent in Dublin are worse than Josef Fritzl's dungeon!


Actual photo of his dungeon!

No. You can leave any of the dumps in Dublin, any time you want, go for a coffee, a pint or a stroll, go to work, visit friends. But nobody could leave this dungeon.

I get where you are coming from, but this comparison is a bit insensitive.

Only his victims would (should is probably more accurate) be sensitive to that comparison. Please don't get offended on their behalf. The world is full of enough of that rubbish already thanks.
