    Daft Rental Report

    When is the next rental report due out from Daft? Does anyone know? It should make for interesting reading because rent falls seem to be outpacing the falls in house prices.

    Rents are still extremely high in Dublin city, with one bedroom flats still around 1000 euro a month.

    Absolute BS.
    Check out Daft you can get a 1 bed apartment from as little as 350 euro.
    In fact out of 1,278 rooms available, 1012 of them were below €1000.
    Once again, you are spreading lies.

    Not at all, I saw several one bedroom flats advertised for around 1000 in the window of an estate agents in Dublin centre. Perhaps you are talking about out in the suburbs.

    Of course there is some. You pay for what you get.
    My original search was for anywhere in Dublin.

    Reducing it to the city centre comes up with 343 matches and 264 of these were below 1,000.
    These start from 600 a month.

    If someone is really stuck and needs to live in the city centre- they can share with someone from 400 a month.
    How much is the rent allowance with the social welfare?
    Such a right wing state we live in!!

    Let's just call it an untruth - similar to your one about infant mortality on another thread.

    The amount people are willing to pay has declined dramatically while the asking amount in many cases may not have. A friend of mine lives in a six bedroom house. 4 tenants moved out about three months ago and the landlord won't decrease the prices which it fetched last year. No look renting it though. There are apartments in town that have dropped a lot on last year's price. Once the stubborn landlords see sense, the drops will be even more pronounced, I think.

    Not at all when you try to make out the average rental price for a 1 bed in the city is a grand when it clearly is not.
    You pay for what you get and sure if you want to pay a grand for an apartment you can.

    The market is beginning to work but rent prices have a long way to fall, just like house prices.
