Add another 260 euro on to that for water charges.
Needs more smashed up crying chair
Elm Park like. For those of you unaware, pick the student housing estate near your local 3rd Level in the highest state of disrepair and neglect and then multiply by 911 times a thousand.
My God, that’s… I don’t even know what that is!
no amount of domestos could clean up that place.
Mikeyfex – I concur – I lived there for 4 years. The quality of build in those houses is beyond appalling.
WTF is up with people…. as a student I never saw another students flat that looked like that…. I saw plenty of kips made liveable, but these fupps appear to have done the reverse….
Hang on….. there’s a baby grow on the bed and in the link there’s a crate of kids toys in the back garden. I can see Ted’s feet sticking up as he’s face down in it, dead, Ted’s dead baby, Ted’s dead.
Are yiz sure this was students….
They’re “students of life” or maybe “school of hard knocks” types.
My thoughts also. There was kids living there, not students. Depressing thought.
kids lunch box in the kitchen also. student accomodation??
It’s a housing estate really. Mostly but not exclusively inhabited by students.
I’m surprised they even have houses down in limerick wha
Students are allowed have kids.
Living in such obvious squalor is a worrying reflection on the mental stability of the adults in charge of the children evidenced by the photos. When I was a student I never saw that level of squalor.
+1
It’s defo not a student house.
I feel obligated to say that until not too long ago my own gaff would not have been a far cry from this. And yes, a reflection on my mental stability, but in my case because the kid does not live with me.
It took me a day to get my oven cleaned back to liveable, but even at my worst I never let the sink get that bad.
They’re more like the photos you’d use for a court case than in an attempt to sell.

Students or travellers?
Mullingar people call this a palace
Might this be a case where the house is on the market at the behest of the bank, but the owners mightn’t be too put out if it didn’t sell?
Still though, front garden’s looking well.
This is normal for students who don’t get into Dublin colleges.
^ He’s right, you know
Dublin colleges are full of howiyas and ghetto monkeys
I have seen equal or worse squalor once in a house let out by a friend of mine. It was a family with three national school age children. They were settled travellers, and the owner knew the tenant from his school days. Students who were in it years previously wrecked the sofa with fag ends, but at least they didn’t put holes in the walls and leave a half inch of assorted filth on every surface.
Every single fixture and fitting had to be stripped, from lino and carpets to wardrobes to cooker, washing machine and tumble dryer. The walls had to be scrubbed down with sugar soap to get the film of smoke, grease and grime off. It took over half of the rent of the one year they were there to put the place right.
What are the legal remedies like for landlords when the security deposit doesn’t cover the damage done? More trouble than it’s worth or actually effective?
In that particular case, there was very little point in pursuing it, as the landlord was never going to recover anything. He also felt, whether fairly or not, that it would be unwise to aggravate a traveller family who knew where he lived.
As far as I’m aware, the PRTB are quite powerless to order a former tenant to pay compensation for damage beyond that covered by the deposit, and a landlord would have to pursue the former tenant in the courts in a civil action for damage to property.
As a landlord, you do have to take a certain amount of risk, which is only fair given the rather uneven nature of the landlord-tenant relationship.
” He also felt, whether fairly or not, that it would be unwise to aggravate a traveller family who knew where he lived.”
I called up the Guards there one time, as traveler kids were throwing stones at passing cars.
Come in and make a report of the damage they said.. Eh no thanks sez I, can you just tell them to stop.
Whatever about a dent, it’s nice having a car. You wouldnt want to aggravate um all right.
I’m sure there’s some lovely travelers out there, traveling along paths I haven’t crossed though.
I don’t think that’s a student flat – unless it’s a mature student – there are kids clothes in there and that’s a child’s lunchbox!
It appears that the people who lived in that house left in a hurry. Would the current owner(s) care to clarify?
The sink reminds me of the rubber glove scene in Withnail and I.
Fork it!
I lived three doors down from there in college! That’s shocking.
What’s wrong with it exactly? All mod cons n all. Running water and an x box too probably.
Snobs.
