I know everyone is fully aware (and over) the rent situation but I thought that this was just taking the piss. €1,500 for a ONE bed apartment, UNFURNISHED!

There is also someone in the same area renting a 2 bed apartment on a short term basis accommodating for 10 people. 10 people in a 2 bed apartment? Ah here!

“This is the third summer in a row where there were fewer properties available to rent nationwide at any one time,” said economist and author of the report [by Daft.ie], Ronan Lyons.”This is particularly the case in Dublin, which means that some prospective tenants may find that they have to live further out than expected.” However, there is good news for students in some parts of the country.The average rent is 0.5pc lower than it was a year ago. The latest figures show the average advertised rent stood at €809 a month in June compared to €814 at the same time last year.
