I know it's a share, but nearly 6 grand a month for a 5 bedroom terraced house in Finglas, is simply unconscionable and indefensible. A complete and total exploitation of the current housing crisis.

  1. Surely 5 bedrooms for this style house means no sitting room? 

  2. Oh look at mr fancy here thinking he can be thesaurusering at us.

  3. Must be a setup for money laundering – your mates will live in for free so you can document the income or something, I’m just trying to cope or justify it to myself….. Madness

  4. The price has “be beaten up” included on it, that’s why.

  7. imagine paying 6 grand on rent and on top of that you have to live in Finglas.

  9. Its an E1 ber rating as well which is not much better than a shed in terms of insulation and heat retention

  10. The state of the inside, I would be embarrassed to put that up for rent.

  11. What an absolute joke. We’re in end times here people.

  13. It will be rented by five poor immigrants working in entry level tech jobs, earning about 25 percent less than their Irish counterparts. They’ll save most of their income, send some home, and spend roughly 150 euro a week to get by, contributing very little to the Irish economy. All the while, they’ll be racially abused about once a fortnight.

    Just to be clear, this isn’t a criticism of them. They’ve come from a society where this is seen as a dream opportunity, something their families likely depend on, and they are hardworking and dedicated.

    That doesn’t change the fact that this setup is making Irish society worse for almost everyone in it

  15. That’s for the 5 berth caravan, house is not for rent

  17. Somebody bring back Joe Duffy quick! There’s no shame here at all

  18. 6000 euros to rent a terraced house in Finglas. A terraced house which has not been updated in decades, and has essentially a failing grade energy rating.

    Tenements, a little over a hundred years since we got our independence and we have succeeded in resurrecting tenements.

    This landlord should be named and shamed for their greed.

  19. 🤣🤣 for that price you may be staying SHARING in the caravan in the driveway!

    Packem tight, packem high!!

  21. Here’s the full listing if anyone doesn’t know they can just google the address + daft to see it: https://www.daft.ie/for-rent/house-glasilawn-road-dublin-11-finglas-dublin-11/6237873

    The numbered cupboards in the not-kitchen deal direct psychological damage. The weird liminal space underneath the “only high cupboards, no low cupboards” stapled into the “used to be a small sitting room” is unsettling. The blurry A4 piece of paper starting “all rooms much put…” is giving potent Kapo energy. The cognitive dissonance of a photo of Audrey Hepburn in a glam, classy outfit; over an airfreshner, next to stained boxspring, in a sitting-room-converted-into-a-bedroom; with visible water stains on the roof and the absolutely inescapable knowledge that this is “the nice bedroom”. the rotten bottoms on the kitchen cupboards. the converted shed where you can literally see the cold-bridges in the photo. the fire-hazard oven that can’t open because the couch and a laundry basket are in the way. The realization that the couch is a pull out that looks like it’s rarely pushed in. The rotten rickety shed-bed. the wooden console stood up sidways so it fits in the room, but still used as furniture. the photos of musrhooms all over a room that’s definitely so full of fungus in the winter it’ll make you sick. the makeup station someone has clearly tried to ‘make nice’ but that somehow just makes it more depressing.

    Jesus lads this might sound like some Joyce stream of consciousness joke but I’m genuinely losing it here.

  22. Just wait until they bring in the garden sheds lads! 5 people be expected to live in a “module home” out the side of someone’s gaff

  23. The bedrooms could be made of gold 🪙😂😂😂

  24. its great to see our former council stock getting upcycled by the private sector

  25. Is it weird that it’s not listed on RTB – it looks like it has been rented before, and I doubt the landlord would pull it down and then put it back up again.

    Definitely rented before: Four months ago a spot in a SHARED bedroom was listed as available for 575 euro on the Indians in Ireland group on Facebook. Sharing a room in that shithole for 575 euro a month is just so sad, but I guess it makes sense if the full rent is 5750. And it was listed on Daft just last month (according to a [Boards.ie](http://Boards.ie) thread).

    Given all that, it would be very surprising that the landlord isn’t living there if it’s listed as a five-bed.

    I do see a listing for 30 Glasilawn Road on a website called Uniacco (whatever that is). It has the same grotty furniture: [https://uniacco.com/ireland/dublin/30-glasilawn-road](https://uniacco.com/ireland/dublin/30-glasilawn-road)

  27. Where the hell is the RTB. This place 100% doesn’t meet fire safety standards with that many beds
