Ah here.

Emailed a potential landlord about an apartment, and they come back to me saying if I’m a student they require 5 months rent in advance, the monthly rent is €1,050 by the way, what kind of elitist asks for €5,250 upfront off a STUDENT? Absolute disgrace.
Anyone?
Meanwhile…
There you go now.

Disgraceful. All the RTB says is “It is not normally required to pay a deposit plus several months rent in advance.”
My only advice is to check if the property is registered and, if not, report him.
No landlord had a right to an employment contract or a payslip either. All I ever had to provide was landlord reference and proof of employment.
Not any type of elitist.
Just a greedy type of person.
If you read the fine print they also ask for your firstborn son.
Average wage distracts from the problem. Median wage would be a better value to include.
Government keep pushing the average wage number even though half the workforce earn roughly half that amount , by using the false number they can claim things are easily affordable on the average wage.
thanks blushirts
Do you reckon they’d be in compliance with GDPR? That’s a lot of personal data.
