Off topic but why is there mandarin / Japanese text on your screen ?
Government wont do anything as half of them are personally invested in rental properties.. the people need to take it into our own hands…
Jesus those rooms must be massive!!!
What are the HMO regs in Ireland? in the UK this would not pass as there needs to be two bathrooms for 6 or more occupants.
Without any pictures or other indication on the size of thr rooms, I can’t say for sure that they are too small for 7 people, and I shared a room with a stranger as a student, I don’t think it’s completely inappropriate, but a place with just one kitchen and one bathroom is definitely not appropriate for seven people. You can imagine the chaos in the morning and evening, even in the ideal, impossible situation that they know each other really well, have complementary schedules and cooperate fully with zero conflict.
Is there any agency regulating rental properties in Ireland? If not, maybe there should be.
Tenements turning back into tenements.
Unfortunately it probably is legal.
As for what should be done? Kneecapping.
I doubt it’s illegal, after all we’ve a government of thieving landlords who have a vested interest in inflating the rental market and reducing the purchase market availability, to the point they’ve robbed my generation and future generations of their futures in Ireland
Well there’s this neat recipe that takes gasoline and, well, the Ukrainians know
The days of landlords being answerable are long gone. There was a time when tenants could face their slumlords air their grievences the slumlords were made to listen then judgement was passed usually in the tenants favour.
100 years later after much reform and tenants rights the slumlords are now portfolio investors protected by law
Looks like Qatar has another place to hide slave labor
It’s not illegal as long as they’re from the same gender. The legislation that dictates this is from 1966 where it was more common and accepted that young people would rent digs in big cities to work and share rooms to do so. Tad bit outdated and even then, there should have been limits.
Must be so awkward to share a room with someone you don’t know unless you can get a group of 7 people you know hunting together.. And are the rooms ladies and gents. It cant be right to have different sexes sharing a room, with no privacy.
That many people is a recipe for disaster.
Should we drown their inbox in shite?
One of my Brazilian friends lives in a one bedroom apartment with 5 other Brazilian girls paying 400 euro each…. That’s above what the landlord would get if they just rented it to a couple, I don’t understand how it’s legal. They have bunk beds in a tiny room. It’s inhumane.
Each room needs a heater which tenants can control. If multiple tenants are in one room, I’d question if they actually can control their own temperature.
But if it is legal, it shouldn’t be. It’s literally just slum housing to be sharing your bedroom with 3 other people.
I know its not really relevant, its beyond fucked but in my student accommodation its a floor of about 16 people with 1 bathroom. This is hardly unusual
Mountjoy?
[http://jmgcinvestments.com/](http://jmgcinvestments.com/) Their company values look like some generic copy/paste template nonsesnse.
Perhaps also they could speak to their motto, “Quality Property, Quality Life”. iF anyone has any first-hand experience with them via inquiry.
It should be up to the law to punish anyone in a civilized society, however this is not to discourage civilized discourse or prevent those from venting their frustration/praise worthy practices based on true experience and interactions with a business.
I’m pretty sure 1 bathroom for 7 people is illegal.
We are back to tenements. Anyone who thinks this is OK because they’re not Irish is a cunt.
We need another revolution.
A guillotine.
At least they get their own washer and dryer. My apartment building here in the states has communal ones and it’s frustrating cause people hog them by leaving their laundry in them after it’s done.
I hate landlords
Unfortunately, they will still find tenants for this because lots of the people I know from Pakistan, Brazil, Afghanistan (to name a few) are more than happy to share a single room with 3 people because their rents are cheaper, they can just put a mattress down and sleep on the floor or one or the other roommates work nights shifts as there is enough space for all.
Used to live in Dublin for 4 years. I am big fan of Irish and their culture….but this living condition is for animals, i went back to Croatia during first lockdown. In that time i thought cant be worse, but unfortunately i see it can.
Capitalism at it finest. Better than sleeping on the street though🤔
I’m moving to Dublin in February, I’m an Argentinian Citizen who also holds an Italian passport, and checking places from here had set me on edge, I mean, the stories I read make some horror movies look romantic.
Btw, is SPOT-A-HOME to be trusted? I’ve seen some of the owners requirements and they are… laughable at best. I’m so worried I would end up living with a psycho.
Hostel with a different name
They banned bedsits so that we could have Prison Lets?
they have a contact thing on their website. the cheap skates haven’t paid for an ssl cert & website is registered in uk with an email address & number.
website definitely vulnerable to sql injection & defacment. tempting lol.
There is an address in the website which is a few doors down from the one in screenshot. obviously some scumbag landlord owns more than one property there. Reporting them would undoubtedly leave a lot of people homeless unfortunately
This is unfortunately too common. Slumlords mainly taking advantage of international students or new immigrants who are used to these living arrangements or don’t know that this is illegal.
Problem is people are desperate and will take anything. Feel for those having to resort to these conditions.
Pretty soon they’ll be doing that thing where eveeryone sits in a row on a bench and leans on the rope to sleep then they pull the rope out in the morning when you have to leave to go work in the knitting factory

You’d be better off in Mountjoy Prison
7 people for one bathroom 🚽🥺

It’s illegal. But most people don’t complain.
