They could get rid of that table and add a fourth bed? Maybe put a pillow in the bath and for 400 a month too
They know some people will pay for it though that’s the terrible thing. Half of these cowboys wouldn’t be doing what they’re doing if nobody was going for it.
>how much worse can this get?
We’ll see soon enough I imagine.
Seems reasonable to me given the state of the market, the beds also look pretty nice
Not at the shanty towns just yet.
I wonder what the outcomes would be though, if folk started building shelter like this to live in, while in Ireland.
Also a thing I’ve noticed in Cork is penny dinners is way more busy than it ever has been, never seen lines of people that big there ever !
Something’s gotta give as they say.
It could be €652
We should put public the name of those landlord who are looking to rent those type of places with those prices
How much worse? Leave it to capitalism to figure that out.
I seriously don’t get what kind of people are okay to sleep with a stranger? And for that money? It’s basically a hostel
I was talking to a Brazilian guy who’s paying 350 for a shared room. Says he can’t even save any money even though he’s working 6 days a week, and can’t hold onto a gf cause he doesn’t have his own room. Lad I felt so Fucking embarrassed for Ireland. All the enthusiastic hard working young people who move here and and we just shamelessly fleese them until they either go broke or get so disillusioned that they leave. The housing crisis is destroying our reputation.
Just for context, in mid/late 2000s I was working in a large city center tourist hostel. We often had students and immigrant workers stay with us for months/years in dorms with up to 25+ people in bunks.
Sharing with strangers in a four person room, a quarter of the size of this was €530 a month.
That wasn’t unusual even 20 years ago and this is a faaar nicer room in what looks like an ok house/glorified hostel.
Not that this is ideal but it’s not new and not unusual and there are pure greedy shitbag landlords packing people into rooms in damp houses out there for €900pm but this doesn’t look like that.
Shared twin rooms in UCD are €650
So pretty much the same. Market price I guess. Though ucd residences are probably better build quality.
It’s all the avacado s fault.
Lads, you see the height of that ceiling? So much space for a 2 bed mezzanine!
24 grand cash for that room per year. Great!
Basically, this is the tenant willingly slaving to pay the owners mortgage. Now the owner buys a new place with the prepayment, load em up…
Its a vicious cycle,
All jokes aside this is actually disgusting.
We could abolish these parasitic practises by changing laws but when we have a government full of landlords why would they do so?
It goes against all the principles this country was founded on and in government is the 2 founding parties of the state. Change is very much needed and quick.
When will it be socially acceptable to hunt these types of landlords and drag them through the streets behind a horse. Personally I’d go further but if I put up what I really think should be done to them I’d get a ban
Is this price gouging by the landlord or is he/she struggling to keep up with the interest rates? Tune in next week when he see a 20 bedroom apartment in Clontarf with an innovative sink/toilet.
Irish rental prices are rising as fast as the GameStop stocks that time
Bunk beds.
650 euros deposit and 650 euros fee? What is the fee?
* Student house *
Says it’s a student house and only available for 6 months, what happens in 6 months, do all 5 students have to find other accommodation?
It’s student accommodation – I’d happily send one of my kids here for accommodation if I was a culchie, 650 is the going rate for student. Good deal if you ask me, Students have been sharing for multiple decades.
Hang on are they looking for a €650 deposit and two months upfront but written in such a way that it’s technically not illegal?? €1950 up front to share a bedroom is fucking nuts.
If you are considering the question ‘How much worse can this get?’ well just wait until the government comes out like they did just this week in the uk and tell the pesants you just have to accept being poorer now.
Take their wages sooner than later and get them out of their positions of power.
I gotta get out of this country
Brutal.
Fine Gael fundamentally believes that working and lower middle class people in Ireland do not deserve a home.
This is not a failure of government or them being apathetic…this was planned
I’ll be paying 160 quid a month to live in a really nice log cabin resort in Thailand. The west is falling and its calculated, every single move is calculated.
It’s a student house, literally nothing unusual about it except the price (probably not even that when adjusted for inflation). These have been around since the dawn of time, in many countries.
I’ve stayed in worse myself in loads of places.
Look at all that empty ceiling. Surely you can put a bed or two up there as well.
Where is Mao when you need him?
Landlord should be named & shamed tbh.
What a disgrace, people will be desperate enough to fucking take this as well. Can gards do nothing about it? Has to be illegal.
Take out the table and put in bunk beds
Just decide not to be poor, worked for me…😂
In limerick they’ve taken advantage of all the English students who are told they will find accommodation in two weeks so the schools get the money. Landlords have been putting in bunk beds etc. And charging more than for a double.
The ad explicitly states it is student accomodation, clearly the target clientele are Kids of rich Foreigners. In a very Large georgian House, in a leafy suburb. That bedroom looks to have more floor space than a 3 bedroomed semi-D.
Anything to be said for organising viewings for these types of places then tar and feather the landlord when he arrives up.
Up to the 1950s, social housing provided the majority of new dwellings and nearly one in five Irish people lived in social housing in the early 1960s.[6]Over the last three decades the provision of social housing shifted from direct built by local authorities to being predominantly provided through the private market through private rental or purchase from the private market, alongside an increased role for Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs). Government funding for new social housing provision fell by 88.4% between 2008 and 2014 and, as a result, output of social houses declined by 91.5%.[7] Austerity intensified this decline in social house building, with the Department of Environment suffering the second highest budget reductions between 2008 and 2012.[8] A Rebuilding Ireland progress report states that the cumulative delivery to the end of Quarter 3 2018 9,388 social homes were built, (The build category includes outputs under Local Authority and Approved Housing Bodies programmes, Regeneration, Voids and Part V) compared to 43,732 HAP tenancies.[9] This is a worrying trend considering the problems currently faced by tenants in the private rented sector.
Why can’t we do in Ireland like they do In countries like Germany where it’s illegal to raise the price of an apartment or accommodation simply based on the value of the buildings.. The rent cap is based on the value of the living space itself not the property..
Now I’m not a expert on the German market as I’m not from there this is just based on stuff I’ve read online but it makes sense to me.. A studio apartment regardless of location and property value should never be more than 6-700 pr month (even that seems high) a bed in a room definitely no more than 2-300..
If you have a full time job you should be able to afford at least a 1bedroom apartment even if it’s just you.. Yeah it won’t help on the amount of avaliable apartments in the city but at least the ones that where rented would be reasonable..
Well pretty bad see these up the last couple of years. We get it. Happy Saturday 🎆
How is this legal?
This should be illegal. And it is morally bankrupt.
People who are outraged here don’t realize that is is amazing good news for millions of property owners, who are getting big increases in their living standards thanks to government policy to inflate housing costs.
And there is no end in sight: so many renters and buyers and upgraders can still double-up. If they live 3 to a big room as in this advert, then 6 could live in the same place, and 12 with bunk beds, and then 24 if beds were rented by the half day, every time the rent can go up. Not many renters or buyers or upgraders yet live in dickensian conditions.
There is no political will stop this, by distributing jobs around a country, because it is how neoliberals win elections: they rewards incumbents with property with massive upwards redistribution from those poorer than them, by concentrating jobs just in a few areas, and if you want a job, you got to pay whatever it takes, and double-up how far as it needs to be.
Sorry this won’t be funny, but this stops only once people stop joking and protest. If joking solved everything, I’d call it heaven, or a story, but we’re on Earth, the real world.
You’d be surprised how things could improve when we work together instead of slagging others for a laugh and next day, slag again.
Tbh, these landlords are counting on us advertising desperation. It helps with price hiking.
