I literally just came to BS to send you this property.
EIGHT. HUNDRED. EURO.
THAT’S PERFECTLY REASONABLE STARINA!
Another great headline! “Baby I’m an addict now……..”
Quality.
The front door appears to open into the “bathroom”
A double bed that can only accommodate 1 person…. well 2 but not at the same time.
€800/mth for a bed share, hope the sheets are changed.
and ya have to find somewhere else literally EVERY WEEKEND. i wonder how they police that. like if ya can’t get home to your parents one weekend, or you have something you want to go to on saturday night. do u pretend to leave, and then sneak back into your €800p/m squat and hope your landlords dont catch u .. and if they do catch you you sleep on the street. nice are tho. youll be safe.
Ham Street? I never heard of it.
i think it’s one of those streets around bibi’s cafe
Hamilton St, near Dolphin’s Barn.

A lot of young actors live there…
It’s common enough in Paris for people to stay in a hotel (hotels are often more reasonably priced there) Monday to Friday, then drive home to La France Profonde for the weekend.
How does the Ham Street place sit with fire regulations?
That would be against Building regs to use that as a room without a proper stairs… assuming that is one of those stira type things…
+1
Also, the ceiling of the “bedroom” looks too low for the room to legally be classified as habitable. it is a storage room. €800 per month to sleep in a storage room. Fupping hell.
I’ve reported it.
Good man.
Who did you report it to Tom?
I know there is a button on the ad to report it to Daft, but I doubt they care too much.
Dublin city council. They have a building regulations department.
“Wow that was amazing, thanks for coming over. Now if you could just stand over there…a little to the left…a little more..BYEEEE”
€800 for Mon – Thurs only stay. So ~ €50 per night. Jaysus.
straight question – any builders/techs
apart from the very large trapdoor with stira “feature” is this space legal in any way? I thought minimum ceiling height in a habitable room had to be 2.4m no?
(cos I’m thinking of digging a large hole in my spare room put an oul cellar underneath to make some dollar but I know there’s granite and at best I’ll prob get 1.5m…)
I think it may depend on if this is a lease or a house-share.
If it is a house-share then anything goes.
afaik, you need planning permission if you intend to use an attic conversion as “habitable accommodation”. there’s no way this has permission given the ceiling height. even if they’re letting it as a house share (which they must be given the weekend limitation), it would still need to legally qualify as habitable accommodation, surely?
Slight tangent. I was looking for regulations on attic conversations and found this FAQ – there are some quality questions:
Q: I’m thinking of locking up my overbearing mother-in-law in the attic and throwing away the key. How can I make sure she can’t make her escape?
A: Sorry to rain on your parade. The attic windows must be big enough and accessible enough to climb through in the event of an emergency. If your mother-in-law is particularly agile she could, in theory, scramble out on to the roof and make her escape down the drainpipe. Are you prepared for the consequences?

Think of the compo though, 13 minutes I’d last before careening straight through that Dante hole.
No oven or hob either, isn’t that illegal?
Do Daft have any responsibility when it comes to allowing illegal lets on their site like this? It doesn’t seem like a legal let for a couple of reasons as others have mentioned. I know they can’t review everything from pictures and info provided but some quality control would be great. Maybe I’m very naive.
I think it is becoming apparent that Daft.ie are part of the problem rather than the solution. They appear to wash their hands of all responsibility for the legality of the advertisement. And as I said yesterday, some of their metrics are very questionable.
Roll out of bed,fall two floors.
Any chance of the person(s) offering this ‘accommodation’ being prosecuted? Are there ANY regulations in place at all. No? I’ll get me coat.
who can you report them to? PRTB?
Lads, what’s become of us?
We’ve regressed.
Greed. Irish people are good at it
Is that the toilet in the kitchen or am I having a moment?!
don’t mind that
it’s the chair facing the toilet for when a friend calls round that unsettles me most
although i did once share a flat with a girl who would come into the bathroom to do a poo when i was having a bath
If you browse the Daily Mail website today you’ll see that you’re bang on trend. Joe Swash and whassername his ladyfriend admitted to the same carry on while on some show or other. Holly Willoughby was SHOCKED.
we were just flatmates – platonic and all. and she always wanted to watch me wee.
#NotPlatonic
Ooooo reminds me of a story about someone I snogged once who liked doing poos on perspex during sexytime.
oh. am all for a bit of deviance but not a massive poo fan.
Aye. I didn’t engage in sexytime with him. You would’ve seen a me-shaped hole in his door had he tried that.
BB perhaps if you stopped weeing in the bath she might have stopped coming into the bathroom to do a poo?
cian, i’m finding you very, very, very judgemental today
I’m thoroughly enjoying it.
am giving you my cross look now, mildred

•The building must be free from damp and in good structural repair.
•Hot and cold water available to the tenant.
•Adequate heating and ventilation.
•All appliances in good working order.
•Electrical wiring, gas and water pipes all be in good repair.
•Provide cooking preparation, storage of food and laundry facilities including a 4 ring hob, oven and grill, fridge and freezer or fridge freezer and microwave oven. (This is not applicable to Approved Housing Body Tenancies)
•Have a fire blanket and fire alarms.
•Have access to refuse storage facilities.
you forgot the next bit:
“…the enforcement of Minimum Standards for rental accommodation is dealt with by the various Local Authorities. If you believe that the dwelling is sub standard, you can contact your Local Authority and request that they carry out an inspection. Any subsequent enforcement against a landlord who fails to comply with the Housing (Standards for Rented Housing) Regulations is a matter for the Local Authorities. A portion of the RTB registration fees are given over to the Local Authorities to carry out such inspections but other than funding, we have no further function in relation to inspection or enforcement. “
Is there any rules on who pays the RTB costs of registering a tenant? I’m asking because of a recent advertisement on daft.ie. A bedsit on NCR. €1500 p/m plus same deposit AND RTB registration.
I doubt if daft.ie can retrieve anything from last Monday let alone last month of course.
The landlord.
It is a legitimate expense so can be taken off pre tax.
I’ve never heard of that sort of lark.
It not the tenants responsibility to have the tenant registered. And they can use the prtb even if the landlord hasn’t registered. A large doors on the other hand cannot use prtb dispute resolution unless they register.
most standard leases permit the landlord to pass on any charges associated with the property or tenancy. a lot of landlords used that to pass the household charge onto tenants, for example. legislation says it’s landlord’s responsibility to register the tenancy but there’s nothing about where liability for the charge lies. It’s unusual (and cheeky) but probably allowed.
