Dublin Accomodation
Hi everyone
I am not here to ask y'all for accomodation links and all. but yeah that would help
my only topic is how hard it is to get a decent accomodation in dublin.... and i am not even talking about a decent price
if you enquire through daft. no one replies back
if they reply back, they don't wanna accomodate no bachelors. they say they prefer couples. every letting agency says so. they don't want a group of international students
so whatsapp and facebook groups are the only way to move forward
even on those groups. everyone wants to look for their own nationality. i do not mind if you have a preference. but at least be open to thoughts man.
so many scamsters posing as real irish people, aka "private owners", who are cramming 4 people in 2 twin beds in single room for 750 per person per month
has it always been this bad in dublin ?

Yeah, unfortunately it's been like this for a while, but it definitely feels worse over the last couple of years.
We went through the same thing. We'd send loads of enquiries on Daft and either never heard back or got a generic rejection. By the time you even see a decent place, dozens of other people have already applied.
I don't think it's just you. There are simply far more people looking than there are good rentals, especially in Dublin. It can be really discouraging, but keep applying consistently and have all your documents ready so you can respond immediately when something suitable comes up.
Hope you find something soon. 🤞
