    Rents in Dublin - people must be joking!!!

    I am currently looking for a place to rent on the south side of Dublin(house share). From what I can see rents are absolutely crazy. I thought they would have started to come down at this stage. Anybody know if and when this is going to happen?

    Conuter offer, its really starting to work. You still have the twits and those who advertise their property living in cloud cuckoo land as to what their property will get in terms of rent. Its a residual effect of the bubble but its starting to subside.

    Rents are falling.

    Rents won't just be reduced by some act of god or the "market"

    Only by the workers of Ireland uniting and rising up against the parasitic landlord class will we obtain affordable rents.

    Re: Rents in Dublin - people must be joking!!!

    When people find it more difficult to buy a house, for reasons such as difficulty getting finance or fear that the house they want to buy will be worth a lot less in the future, demand for rental property increases.

    Add in the cost of commuting from suburbs or dormitory towns and you have another factor sas well as higher interest rates for landlords.

    Don't expect any relief soon.

    Why not move north-side or west side?

    actually lots of accommodation which was built to be sold is now being put on the rental market.

    i suspect the original poster is having problems because the LC results came out yesterday and landlords are trying to take advantage of a frenzy of new students looking for accommodation. my advice would be negotiate or to wait for a better deal. btw what sort of rent level are you seeking to pay?

    It's genuinely hard to tell if this is (a) a parody of a useless little commie being serious or (b) a useless little commie being serious.

    In a normal market yes but not in one that has a deluge of unsold properties flooding into the rental market.

    The numbers of properties on the rental market far outstrips the demand.

    So because I don't want to be screwed over any more by corrupt FF councillors, contruction bosses and landlords I am a useless commie? My landlord owns 8 houses and flats and lives off the rents. He is a parasite who lives off the labour of young working people. It's time to change this sorry state of affairs.

    It is very difficult to offer a property for sale and rent it at the same time.

    The cohort of properties for sale are not available to the rental market in the short term.

    Far be it from me to agree with Nagy, but a lot of landlords are greedy scum.
