The greed in this country never ceases to amaze me

  1. Nice! if there’s just 2 or 3 more like this you’ll have a place to stay *every* night.. provided the days they’re renting line up..

  2. I wished the working week followed this logic. Tuesday- Thursday work week and a nice long 4 day weekend

  3. Like, come on!!! This is fkin ridiculous! How can you be so cheeky and greedy and heartless as to exploit a desperate person in a horrible situation. !! Ah I don’t even have the words anymore !!

  4. And just to note, this is greed from a tenant. Clancy quay is a managed development (by Kennedy Wilson) who rent out whole apartments. Whoever has rented this apartment is subletting this room (for half a week!) for this price. These people are like scalpers….

  5. Sadly this is all too common all over the country.
    My daughter is at UoG and she can only rent Monday night to Friday morning so has travel back home to Dublin every Friday afternoon and go back on Sundays and stay on a friends floor for the night.

  6. Saw that last night, was disgusted. It’s been taken down now.
    Don’t think it even included bills (not that that makes €200 a week to only be allowed live there 3 days a week is any better)

  7. what have we become, why are humans doing this to each other? soulless world man. some really greedy and evil people on this planet

  8. I live in Clancy Quay and sub letting is strictly forbidden in our leases as all properties are owned by one company.

    I am gladly going to forward this ad to the management company.

  9. Would anyone be interested in renting my room

    Available from 9am-9pm

    *owner reserved the right to temporarily evict if/when naps are required

  10. Genuine question: Is there a way the government could essentially outlaw bullshit like this? I know they probably won’t but…

  11. I get that this is mostly a failure of the system which has allowed these types of situations to occur, but at the same time how can you post an ad like this and honestly think to yourself that you’re anything other than a complete fucking cunt devoid of all empathy that doesn’t deserve a cent out of any renters’ wallet?

    This greed is the result of a government failing its people, but it doesn’t stop it from being any the more greedy. There’s no moral conscience in the market these day. It’s about who you know, who you’re related to or whether or not your mam or dad’s a landlord TD.

    I hope this person gets reported on some sort of grounds because this is truly fucking obscene.

  12. I work with a lad in his 40s, he only started recently. I’m training him. He’s split up from the missus but has the house, and is renting out a couple rooms for way too much already, like €200 a week for a room, which is ludicrous to begin with – I live in a nice apartment in a nice area with two women in their 30s and I only pay €480 a month.

    He heard that someone else was charging more than he was and so he was bitching and moaning in work and was thinking of kicking a girl out of the house simply so he could raise the rent for no reason other than someone else was charging more than he was, and then get someone else into the house.

    This is what you’re dealing with – assholes.

  13. Show up at 12:01am Tuesday, leave at 11:59pm. Kick whatever air b&b person is in your bed out. You paid for 72 hours.

  14. The focus on “greed” plays to their hand though. Better to say “yes yes, let’s all hate those greedy landlords!” than to actually pass reforms that reduce their ability to charge these rents. I don’t recall prices dropping because landlords suddenly got less greedy.

  15. Do you really think that someone who has to timeshare their mattress 3 days a week is the problem here?

  16. Honestly it’s something that’s ruining this country. The sheer fucking greed amongst the Irish is astonishing. I was once trying tk buy a figurine off a woman at a car boot. Tried to get €30 out of me for a very cheap figurine purely because it was somewhat big. Told her no. Few minutes later I see them packing up to leave and trow a bag into one of the bins. Inside said bag was the figurine, now broken from being fucked in.

    The woman would rather throw it away for nothing than stifle her own fucking greed.

  17. “Pay my mortgage but never dare let me see or hear you” probably works from home monday friday and couldnt bare observing another human being for even 2 minutes.. but likes their money
