Landlords seeking sex for rent as housing crisis bites

  1. >One ad was for a shared house in Newcastlewest, Limerick, with the landlord advertising a room for a single lady “with a twist”.

    >The ad says: “Can do reduced rent for occasional fun.” 

  2. I’ve heard stories of this kind of thing a disturbing amount of times over the past few years but to see it so openly and brazenly is a sad indictment of the housing situation for many people in the country.

    I wouldn’t blame anyone for doing that as I know there are people genuinely that desperate for a place to live.

  3. “…he would give the room to whoever he liked and “had naked fun with”.

    Sounds like something from father Ted.

  4. >He also promised the accommodation would be free if the prospective tenant became his partner in the future

    Jesus fucking christ, trying to bribe yourself a wife?

    Disgusting

  5. People forget that one tenants sexual degradation for shelter is another landlords sexual gratification.

  6. This isn’t all that new sadly, used to be really common on craigslist ad’s for Ireland in terms of housing.

    Morally bankrupt.

  7. So..

    Average monthly rental in Dublin is €1,915.

    This lad says he’ll drop that to €200 for a ride once a week.
    That’s €1,715 per month discount for riding someone 4 times. Nearly €430 per ride.

    I mean… Does the ad specify that it has to be a woman?

  8. My landlord wanted to raise my rent by 200 a month recently. I simply couldn’t afford it and desperate times, desperate measures and all that, so i offered him my body instead. I won’t lie, I was ashamed but what else could I do? Anyway long story short, my rent was increased by 400 a month.

  9. >Let’s chat soon. Note please only for sweet cute and charming girl only…Hahahaha

    Christ on a bike, the cringe is coming out my pores.

  10. This stuff has been happening for years here unfortunately have heard plenty of old stories, can only imagine just how bad it’s gotten lately. Some proper depraved scumbags out there

  11. People in positions of power using it to exploit the vulnerable?

    Shocker, never heard anything like it in this country before!

  12. “Can do reduced rent for occasional fun”

    FUCKIN RAPIST ALARM 🚨🚨🚨🚨

    These people need to be on the register

  13. >Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien has condemned the ads and urged targeted tenants to tell gardaí.

    YOU’RE THE FUCKING HOUSING MINISTER! HOW IS THIS ON SOMEONE ELSE!

  14. There was a landlord in Limerick who did this before I thinks hes dead now but he owned a few rental properties around town and would pester single mother’s for sex for free rent he was in his 70s at the time

  15. The reality is someone will take these guys up on their offers. Needs must if its this verus being homeless etc. Its awful that the housing situation has created a niche in the market for predators who know these people have no where else to go.

  16. The housing minister has urged tenants to call the Gardaí.

    Who will inform the tenants it’s a civil matter and nothing can be done.

  17. In the Netherlands you can provide sex instead of money for services like carpentry, plumbing etc with the price of rent I’d bend over backwards and forwards to knock a couple hundred off

  18. Where do I sign up? At this rate sacrificing my ass looks like more sustainable way of paying for accomodation. BTW not a cute girl at all, not even a girl.

  19. They should be on a fucking register. Jesus Christ. Is there no way they could be barred from renting out accomodation if they’re caught doing this? I would hazard a guess that this is mainly aimed at students coming in that might not have perfect English or know their rights.

  20. >Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien has condemned the ads and urged targeted tenants to tell gardaí.

    Tell the Garda , not my problem mate! If he was a Redditor all his comments would be in controversial.
