My roommate is being an asshole

I posted previously in here about my roommate. To shorten it, she's very loud and untidy and unclean, her cats fur is everywhere and she doesn't clean up after it. Puts her cats poop in our general waste bin etc etc.

I finally found a new place to move to and I'm finally going to get out of this shit hole, but before I even told my roommate I was moving out, she had her coworker move in to replace our roomate who had just left. She never told me who she was, when she would be moving in or that we even had someone moving in. I never got introduced to her or anything. I'm also almost certain this new girl has brought a cat with her.

I had my own pet cat in the house that only lasted for a month because said roommate kicked up a fuss, cursed and yelled at me and joined forces with our ex roommate (also her friend, college mate and coworker, shocker) and told my landlord lies about my cat and she told me to remove my cat from the property and if I wanted to bring him back I would need written consent from all roommates. I never received any warning about this girl moving in, let alone her cat.

On the noise note, I texted her and asked herself and the new roommate to keep it down as it was 1:30 am and they had their bedroom door open and were talking to eachother in there for an hour and a half very loudly, preventing me from sleeping.

She then said "we're back in our rooms now. Our new roommate is wondering when you'll say hi - do say hi when you get a chance." As if I'm the only one who can speak? She could have just as easily introduced her to me or even said hello to me herself.

Should I bring up these points with the landlord or is it futile now that I'm leaving?

I've put up with this plus so much more behaviour from her and I'm genuinely so sick of it. I want to he petty and get my lick back but at the same time is it even worth the hassle?

I'm so pissed off.

Landlord asking for the returned deposit back?

i’ll make this short but He refunded our deposit. We returned the keys and he also moved in the new tenants one day before we told him the property would be vacant and complained about the property being dirty. (We have photos of the clean apartment) now he is demanding money back since the tenants cleaned, also nothing mentioned in our contract about end of tenancy cleaning.

Is he entitled to anything or should I just block him lol

Is there any student room cheaper than ~1200€?

Hiya,

I'm moving to Dublin in September to study at BIMM, and I'm currently on the lookout for a place to live that's preferably well connected to Francis Street via public transport. AFAIK, all the student rooms are getting booked right now and will be gone in the next couple of days.

The prices I've seen were from 290 to 320 per week with electricity etc. included. Is there anything I could get for cheaper, e.g. A single room in a shared flat with roommates?

I'll be moving in alone this year and I'll be on the lookout for a room for couples next year when my girlfriend finishes school as well.

Let me know! :)

Should I visit Dublin in person to lool for flats?

I'm looking for a room in a shared house/apartment (I'm an EU student who will do a one-year masters programme starting Sept 2026), but so far no one on daft.ie is answering my enquiries. Should i book a flight and visit Dublin in person? Will I have better luck finding ads for rooms? I don't want to book a flight and stay there for a week and still not find anything 🥲

Couples not being rented to

Here, had this surreal conversation with someone on Facebook. All my accomodation so far has been sorted this way. DAFT never amounts to anything nor do other official channels.

Very disheartened, trying to move out of current (toxic) house share since November.

Looking for Accommodation / Housemates in Galway

Hi everyone,

My boyfriend and I have both accepted intern positions at **Galway University Hospital**, and we'll be moving to Galway soon.

We've contacted quite a few landlords and agencies over the past few days, but unfortunately we haven't had much luck getting responses. We thought we'd try posting here in case anyone is in a similar situation.

* If you're also looking for accommodation and would like to team up to rent a place together, we'd love to hear from you.
* If you've already secured a house or apartment but are still looking for housemates, please feel free to reach out as well.

We're both doctors, clean, quiet, non-smokers, and respectful tenants. We don't have any pets and are happy to provide references if needed.

Our budget is flexible, so we're open to different options.

If you know of any available properties or have any leads, we'd really appreciate your help. Thanks so much!

HELP Mouldy rental

Hi everyone

I'm wondering about tenant rights in Ireland and how we go about mold. My boyfriend and I recently moved into a new apartment after a long search (we are students, as you know it can be very difficult.) and we really liked it. Everything seemed fine until we had a closer inspection post deposit and lease signing and realised the very obvious mold covering that's been done. The bedroom is really bad, we initially noticed the closet was quite bad so we pulled it out to find it absolutely horrendous behind it. There's also a chest of drawers covered and smells very badly of mold and dampness. We are going to discuss with our landlord tomorrow and i'm a bit nervous on how to actually approach it. A key thing to note in that it's a private rental, located at the back of the landlords house with its own private entrance. I've lived with mold in my previous apartment, i know it's unfortunately very common in Irish rentals especially with our budget (although this was our maximum), however i've only ever had it on windows and the bathroom. Our parents think that we should give our notice (this is only our second day living here) but i'm wondering where exactly we stand with that. From what i've read, as long as we give our notice aligning with what the lease says then we will not lose our deposit?

Thanks in advance.

I just checked the rent prices in Dublin on daft and they are brutal. Not only Dublin but other small shitty cities too. One salary isnt even enough to pay the rent. Isnt there any rent cap?

Buying a House in Dublin

Dear All,

I hope this message finds you well.

We are an Indian couple currently looking to buy a house in Dublin, Ireland. As first-time buyers, one of our key considerations is finding a safe and welcoming community for our family.

Given the recent reports of racist incidents and attacks targeting members of the Indian and broader Asian communities, I am feeling somewhat uncertain about which areas would be the safest and most suitable for us, particularly outside Dublin city centre.

I would greatly appreciate your insights and experiences regarding areas that are considered family-friendly, diverse, and generally safe, as well as any locations you would recommend avoiding when purchasing a home.

At the moment, we are considering properties in:

  • Rathcoole
  • St. Sampson's Square, Dublin 13
  • Balgriffin, Dublin 13

If anyone has firsthand experience of these areas or suggestions for other neighbourhoods, I would be very grateful for your advice.

Thank you in advance for your help and guidance.
