I guess that’s what happens when the government try to socialise the private rental market.
Providing 6 year tenancy after 6 months regardless of contract. Really discourages from renting property to people for longer than 6 months.
Just get in with building more properties and banning build 2 rents or at least restrict them to 50% of the development. I.e the other 50% must be sold to private buyers
is.. is that a literal screenshot?
Comparing properties available to rent with properties listed on AirBnB is not an apples to apples comparison.
You’ll only see an ad for a property to rent for a few days or weeks while it’s available to rent. Once it’s been rented, the ad comes down and won’t be listed again until the occupants leave, which could be years.
Properties listed on AirBnB are listed as long as the owner wants them to be. The property could be booked solid for a year and still be listed on AirBnB.
Of course the AirBnB number is going to look high when you’re listing the entire AirBnB stock against a small fraction of properties being rented.
Urgent legislation is required to cut down on Airbnb.
There needs to be an all night Dáil session if necessary just like the bank bailout. This crisis is costing lives.
Donegal has no one living there apparently so can’t have Airbnb’s or houses available to rent
Is that just full time airbnbs or does it include rooms in people’s houses or people airbnbing the house when they go off themselves for the weekend?
If you want to get a real shock do the same but for vacant houses
Curious to know if the AirBnB list is exclusively “whole places”, or does it include rooms with owner, or things like caravans, log cabins and glamping units?
I didn’t know we even had 214 houses in Leitrim total
That’s just depressing especially if you look at Dublin and the surrounding commuter county’s.
Something has to be done about this shit
Is it ok to go lay down in a ditch? Or do I need to check that its unincorporated land first?
There’s no way there’s 2705 homes listed on Airbnb on lambay island
If the housing crises bothers you then you should never stay in an air bnb apartment/house in Ireland or abroad.
People complain about hotels being built in Dublin. Its better tourists (who bring money into the economy) stay in those.
Somebody mentioned the 490 places on Airbnb in Wexford yesterday so I decided to check it out on inside airbnb. Only 225 of them are recently or frequently booked, with 50 of these booked for less than 90 days. So in effect the true number is 175, not 490.
Back of a post-it math is showing roughly 12k AirBnB units here by my reckoning.
The registered homeless figure is around about 9k.
So on paper, we have enough existing shelter on Airbnb alone to house everyone in the country. Fair enough, not all of these would be appropriate for year round living or for everyone, but if a poster below is correct, this is meant to represent whole units, so more than one person could stay in many or most, and it might balance out regardless.
Now obviously it’s more complicated than that, but it’s still a useful illustration of the stark reality. It is not credible to suggest AirBnB isn’t pulling units out of use as homes when you’re looking at figures like 2705:374.
Should Airbnb be banned. From this I think so.
A sneaky way to avoid the vacant property tax…
I just did a search on airbnb for an entire place in County Cork the first 6months of 2023.
76 places available including, huts, caravans, sheds etc.
I checked earlier today the daft rentals for Mayo and many of them are also short term for mental prices (and it went from 21 earlier thia morning to now 17)
So if we’d even go by long term normal rental, 5 (or 6, because the 4 bedrooms for 950/week seems iffy) fall out. One of those has the Minimus Lease rate for 3 months, but clearly talks about holiday let’s (short term).
So this would make 11-12 rentals in the whole of Mayo. And I’m not even starting to rant about THOSE prices. Most of them are over 1000€/month (8), which is for Mayo a lot. I started renting my house (3bdr rural) for 150€/ week and am now at 160€/week.
Can we not please all go to the Airbnb offices in grand canal and burn it to the ground, French Revolution style?
Yeah AirBnB is causing problems and should be restricted. However, this visualisation of data is highly misleading and would go far as to say it’s fake news.
Air BNB must go. People say it’s not a problem but then they say every house built is important so if banning ABNB brings one house to the rental market it’s a success.
We might be looking in the direction of banning AirB&B in the country. Same way taxi drives banned uber.
Whats going on is that under the legislation a tenant has Part 4 rights once they have lived there for 6 months. Landlords dont want them to get these rights so they use Airbnb to offer them short term lets instead. Thus under the law they are no longer a tenant but a licensee who has no security of tenure and can be kicked out at any time without notice. In that way a landlord can subvert the RTB legislation on tenants rights becasue by renting a house through Airbnb they are not under that legislation at all.
I’m in my 20s with a job and some savings looking to finally move out and I just can’t find anywhere. :/ Depressing as fuck living at home.
We may as well not have a government given how they don’t seem to do anything or change anything about problems such as property and crime.
Don’t know how they would find out, but yeah, I totally understand. I know of the exact same thing happened where I used to live. Guy in a council house renting out a second home through Air Bnb. Someone reported them to the County Council and they brought them to court and took the council house off them. Mad to think that they have TWO council houses…….that’s just showing off!
Your Ireland appears to be missing a few counties there….
so okay, you want to ban airbnb, I need to go to Dublin for a weekend. I can pay 100 on airbnb for the whole thing (I don’t mind sharing a house) or 200 per night in a shitty hotel. hmmm…what would I choose
And the prices for the Airbnb’s…. You’d think you’re renting a palace for those prices
