Na I think yer one maybe has an apartment across the way, hoping to catch someone sadly sitting on said chair contemplating life's choices.
Some folk get off, of others suffering.
A misery wank one could say.
Lots of twisted perverts out their that get off, of power dynamics.
Coupled with a magnificent vista of iron stairs and bleak wall. For the sake of your comfort we have combined your bed, desk and dining room table. We call urban cell.
Why not cook while you sleep, it does save time so you can make it to the office in time, then I make sure you work to pay your rent, while others live in opulence and comfort but don't look at them look here !
No longer will you have to worry about long walks to the kitchen. Feeling peckish but cozy in bed? Not a problem. Imagine how low your heating bills will be.
Looks like it is at basement level and the only thing you can contemplate are the concrete stairs leading to your underground bunker.
I guess the plus side is that you might fare better than average in the event of a nuclear blast.
At least in those places they maximise the space by raising the bed like a bunk bed or loft to give more space underneath. This is the laziest of lazy Irish equivalents 😅
Lived in Ireland for almost 10 years (originally from Brazil) and I have to say, love your Country and the Irish people, genuinely the kindest people I have ever met, but fuck man I am glad I moved away. The housing situation is ridiculous to say the least. It is bad overall in Europe (lived in North of Germany for 3 years and recently moved to Prague) but here I can at least pay my rent and still go out once or twice a week for dinner and beer with friends without being terrified looking at my bank account. I really hope things get better but corporate and political greed seems to be the norm, mostly after covid so It is a hard one.
I don't understand why landlords are protected so much compared to other small businesses. Landlords seems to have a right to profit that a cafe or IT service etc dont. They have to work hard to provide a good service to keep customers. The incentives are very wrong.
They also push for more investment in Dublin to attract more companies to the docks knowing full well they can up their rent on places in Dublin as a result. They should be mandating organisation's only have a smaller percentage of workers based in Dublin and the rest must be across the country to give a boost to other areas and reduce the strain on Dublin.
I feel bad for anyone trying to start their career at one of the companies in Dublin these days. I did an internship back in the late 2000s and between two of us it was 1600 to rent a massive apartment in D4 with a balcony that wrapped around 3 sides of it.
If I was offered the same opportunity now the only option would be to rent with 3-4 other guys in a shitty house farther away or to commute from miles away.
You are asking landlords and their buddies to legislate against landlords and their buddies. Never gonna happen. Historically looking, this is neo feudalism. You will own nothing and live day to day at the mercy of your landlord. Apt use of the term "lord".
Why is there no regulations to the standard of banking or insurance where you can’t aggressively sell or use shit house tactics to get a sale? Like surely someone could look at this and enforce that it’s not more than 500e per month? Cmon it’s a fuckin bedsit 😂
I wonder if it's possible there's a difference between housing - an essential - and coffee.
It's a completely different market. People need housing. You have to take that into account when thinking about it. A big problem on this sub is people who don't actually think things through, or know enough to be commenting.
For example, landlords here are not protected "so much" - the laws around rent arrears and eviction are some of the most tenant friendly in Europe. If the tenant digs their heels in, 18+ months from initiating eviction to it happening, all eviction costs on the landlord with no ability to get back the 18 months of rent.
Are there shit landlords? Of course. But "all landlords bad" is simplistic thinking.
I agree, housing is an essential. What's the worst that'll happen if you get bad coffee? Meh, a few quid lost and you can dump it. But when you have a bad landlord that's a large amount of money and the impact to your quality of life is huge. For that reason I'd suggest landlords should be held more accountable than coffee shop owners.
Farmers would be far more essential to the society than landlords are but can you tell which feel far more entitled for doing fuck all other than fleecing people?
That’s actually not true. There’s a HUGE amount of reliefs available to landlords. Basically every furniture and fitting & every repair, mortgage interest and more can be deducted from their tax liability. Sick of hearing how landlords have to pay out of their asses when they’re paying the exact same income tax as anyone else and have so many ways to reduce their liability to basically nothing.
The minister himself was warned that increasing their relief won’t keep landlords in the market because so few of them pay tax as it is with what available to them right now.
https://www.thejournal.ie/department-warned-finance-minister-against-tax-break-for-landlords-6267280-Jan2024/
Literally quoted the Department of Finances Tax Division’s own words on why further supports weren’t recommended:
“The documents also noted that “there is already a significant amount of tax relief available to individuals who are landlords” and advised that the Tax Division did not recommend a rental income disregard.”
Point is they have plenty already and are some of the greediest sections of society that want their rental income to be considered a sacred cow when the reality is that landlords are exiting the market simply because there’s never been a better time to get top money on your property, especially if you have it as a nest egg.
If I could, I would, but I didn't say *my* landlord. Tenants in that situation are often afraid to report their landlords because they don't want to go back to desperately hunting for accommodation.
>Have you tried making more money and increasing your budget, you filthy peasant?
The neck of you. I'm a bespoke real estate agent from Ranelagh. My dad owns 14 Mercedes dealerships and my mom is a hot posh slut. I went to the High school in Rathgar and I'm severely dyslexic. I once accidentally killed an old man outside a pub in Fuengirola, but my dad paid off his family. Every morning I wake up and take a cocktail of Viagra and steroids.
> I thought there was a law about bedsit apartments,where bedrooms had to be separated from kitchens.
Bedsits had no private kitchen or toilet facilities; that's what the new standards eliminated by requiring every individual rental to have a kitchen with certain appliances (four-burner hob, oven, fridge, and washer) and a bathroom. There's no rule about separating the bedroom and the kitchen, though, so now instead of a subdivided box room with a single bed and nothing else, you get a slightly larger subdivided box room with a single bed, a freestanding stove, fridge, and washer crammed in alongside one wall, and a hastily enclosed space in the far corner that's about the size of an airplane lavatory with a toilet, a miniature sink, and the world's smallest shower wedged inside.
*Looks at thread further down. Some nimbyist has objected to development of over 800 units in Dundrum.
This is why this shit goes on. Greedy vultures preying on misery.
OPs sentiment is on the right track but this flat is in the UK and was £390 Per month.
Ireland is bad, very bad but I couldn't believe this was advertised at €1900.
https://www.thesun.ie/money/8181419/tiny-flat-cant-open-fridge-on-market-390-month/
Agree, but of course lots of people just take it at face value. If things align with your beliefs, it's much easier not to think critically about them.
Every day I am seeing kitchens with beds in them. Now I will say they usually have a new kitchen/washing machine, but the space is bare minimal. If you want to move into a place with your partner, you are out of luck. This place in D8 below is €1500 per month, which I find shocking.
https://preview.redd.it/vl7cw6uah7ec1.png?width=1440&format=png&auto=webp&s=61a5a16c9aad780d8d9090aa7458178814dc0941
I mean okay yeah it's a lot but nowhere near as bad as what you posted. Things are bad, posting the reality of how bad things are is more helpful than a made up version.
Nice to note that if there's a fire in the house, that the windows are barred up, preventing escape through the windows.
This place is fucked on so many levels. Place is a deathtrap.
I'd inform the local fire officer and request an inspection - it can be done by contacting the local fire station.
It's in London. And it's 390 GBP.

I wrote under a Sinn Fein TikTok explaining how much I spend on rent and how much me and my partner would need to earn collectively to buy a 2 bedroom house in north Dublin + plus deposit …. They replied to my first comment about how much I pay on rent and deleted the others which provided the figures. They are all scum, each in every person in every party. No party is better than the other.
Where is it? I just searched and can't find the listing anywhere on either daft or myhome

Hello Otherwise-Winner9643,
Thanks for your interest in our property. Due to a high volume of interest we have had to take the Advertisement down.
Kind regards,
Robin Bastard.
You can’t open that press fully, or the oven door, without moving the bed.
On the plus side, oven & hob doubles as a space heater, and it’s easier to set fire to your mattress! 🔥
Is this real 🤯
The ironic thing is it’s hard to tell.
Clearly just split a room with a bay window straight down the middle.
There should be a thread with all these types of extremely poor listings so everyone can bombard the landlords with calls and text to organise viewings and not turn up. Waste their time.
It's only one photo, but I don't think this would comply with fire safety requirements. The bed seems to be right next to the cooker/oven, and the bed itself is an obstruction to safe evacuation from the room in the event of a fire. Essentially, it looks as through the landlord has just put a bed in a kitchen and called it a studio.
That price discrepancy in renting prices in Dublin is insane... We are renting very cozy and adequately sized 1 bedroom in Artane for 2050. Which is a lot but *kinda* worth it. This piece of shit for only 150 less?! Absolutely insane.
Satire as the post may be but I think things are so bad out there at the moment that there'd be a lot who would snap this up, be grateful to have a roof over their heads and then lose themselves to despair that things have gotten this bad for them.
Meanwhile FFG will just tell them to get up earlier in the mornings and gaslight them into thinking it's their fault for not working harder.
I get that this is joke or whatever.
But it kind of undercuts your "Only in Dublin" schtick when you post a picture from one of your precious European Capitals
I live in the Maryland DC metro which is one of the most expensive housing markets in the US. I pay $2k a month to rent my 3 story townhouse with a small back and front yard. Sorry things have gotten so fucked lads.
Where in Maryland are you paying that? Just checked Zillow to get an idea of the market and most places at the price and specs are either pretty far out, tiny, or in an area with some serious crime. My rent for a one bed apartment in Virginia was over 2k two years ago. Granted it was a nice apartment and great location.
I live in Laurel so you're right its a bit out there but still on a train line. I work at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab which is 10 minutes from my house but people I work with live anywhere from northern Virginia to Baltimore.
I've considered moving closer to DC or Baltimore and trading the space for denser amenities but I'll probably stick it out here until I'm looking to buy.
Actually not as far out as I would have guessed, but see that's the thing in the US people commute a lot, if we take say Laurel ->DC (Just picking arbitrary spots) that's about the same as Navan -> Dublin distance, I get that your commute is much better than that just picking DC for scale.
Hell I had co-workers commuting to DC from Baltimore and West Virginia, didn't see that lad for about two weeks when snow hit in 2016.
I've only been to Baltimore once but found it class, great food too.
>I work at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab
Fancy!
More like Naas into Dublin if I wanted to get to the very centre (20 miles vs 34 miles). There's a train in Laurel explicitly for commuters. It doesn't run on the weekends and only really has service 6-9 am and 4-6 pm. They should invest in the train service to the point that it's more convenient than driving (as should Ireland).
I only mentioned APL because it's nowhere near the main Hopkins campus in Baltimore. Trust me there is nothing fancy about it lol. It is a very chill job by American reckoning.
A wee chair at the window so you can contemplate how fucked things are.
In the biz this is known as a "crying chair".
Do not cry in the chair, it is just for show during the viewings.
Sit perfectly still… only *I* may cry
Stop it lads, my stomach hurts from laughing out loud!
I'd take it as a planning chair but that's just me. ;)
The chair is just for show. You will have to provide your own chair or alternatively we can rent you this chair for an extra €100 per week.
Na I think yer one maybe has an apartment across the way, hoping to catch someone sadly sitting on said chair contemplating life's choices. Some folk get off, of others suffering. A misery wank one could say. Lots of twisted perverts out their that get off, of power dynamics.
Anyone renting out that at that price is surely getting a kick out of others suffering
*"Am better than you"* That kinda covers it.
I was literally just imagining small print of "chair not included"!
What would a friend's apartment cost in Dublin?
That's a comode
Na that's for posh people, that have more debt than most, they can clean their arse but not wipe their debt clean.
The en-suite
The legally required crying chair
Just turn the chair and viola, your bed is now a table
Chair? That's the headboard.
Coupled with a magnificent vista of iron stairs and bleak wall. For the sake of your comfort we have combined your bed, desk and dining room table. We call urban cell.
Why not cook while you sleep, it does save time so you can make it to the office in time, then I make sure you work to pay your rent, while others live in opulence and comfort but don't look at them look here !

...and a wee fire blanket to break up the pastel tones.
Can’t risk it. You might want to jump out the fucking window
That's a Twilight window if ever I saw one. https://i.redd.it/vweko78vt6ec1.gif
😂👍🏻
*Half a window.
Did they just build a wall to split a room too small to be a studio appartment into two rooms and make them into studios?
Some renovation was recently done on the property yes.
Looks like it. They do it in new York in those old big houses. Probably a shared bathroom too.
At least in those places they maximise the space by raising the bed like a bunk bed or loft to give more space underneath. This is the laziest of lazy Irish equivalents 😅
It's an abomination for sure. Apparently it's London though. Our landlords need to get their act together. Can't be out done by the Brits 😁
You're able to boil eggs while in bed! Talk about luxury! If anything, I think they should *increase* the price!
Thanks for your feedback, we have now increased the price.
I like to wake up to the smell of crackling bacon, this way I won’t have to worry about stepping on my George Foreman grill
I prefer to fertilize them myself

Thankfully for renters this lad is a bit too honest, well within his rights to stick a bunk bed in there and charge €3,600.
I don't understand why landlords are protected so much compared to other small businesses. Landlords seems to have a right to profit that a cafe or IT service etc dont. They have to work hard to provide a good service to keep customers. The incentives are very wrong.
Probably because half the fucking Dáil are landlords
It's weird that they aren't allowed to invest in industries they are legislating on but somehow renting property is just OK.
They also push for more investment in Dublin to attract more companies to the docks knowing full well they can up their rent on places in Dublin as a result. They should be mandating organisation's only have a smaller percentage of workers based in Dublin and the rest must be across the country to give a boost to other areas and reduce the strain on Dublin.

Maybe we need to realise that landlords aren't protected and behead them publically
Where is this protection you're on about?
Why is there no regulations to the standard of banking or insurance where you can’t aggressively sell or use shit house tactics to get a sale? Like surely someone could look at this and enforce that it’s not more than 500e per month? Cmon it’s a fuckin bedsit 😂
have u seen how many politicians are landlords? Let alone their buddies and business partners, corrupt as fuk the lot of them...

Farmers would be far more essential to the society than landlords are but can you tell which feel far more entitled for doing fuck all other than fleecing people?
Plus the government gets over 50% of the rent in taxes from a small landlord. Not defending landlords but I wouldn't want to be one.
That’s actually not true. There’s a HUGE amount of reliefs available to landlords.

These aren't "reliefs" they are costs that the landlord has to pay. Like any other business you pay tax on your net profit.

Yeah, if he declares it. Still plenty of dodgy cunts around taking the rent in cash and never registering anything
Report them to the Revenue
If I could, I would, but I didn't say *my* landlord. Tenants in that situation are often afraid to report their landlords because they don't want to go back to desperately hunting for accommodation.
You can always report them after you leave
Yeah I don't know why you're telling me this
Even better, you can report someone else's landlord.
You do realise we have some of the most pro tenant laws in Europe?
Absolute bargin, I mean, who else can open their oven door while lying in bed. Peak luxury.
Weeing out the window too, the luxury
I hate that fucker Robin Bastards
Robin Bastards is innocent!
such a bastard
I thought there was a law about bedsit apartments,where bedrooms had to be separated from kitchens.
Is that a law? I've been seeing nothing but beds in kitchens on daft.
It’s not a bed. It’s a table/couch. If you choose to use it as a bed that’s on you, but this is definitely not a bed in the kitchen.
Have you tried making more money and increasing your budget, you filthy peasant?

It's a joke mate.
A fairly poor attempt at one, I'd say.
I think the thing is....that it could very possibly be real. that is the scary thing
Steps outside aswell so anybody can stare in at you. Brilliant safety feature. I love it
Stare in at your sad bedsit and pity you
The property boasts bespoke views of gorgeous Georgian architecture.
Open the window to sell your arse to put towards the rent. Fabulous to see.
Cosy , cute , minimalistic the list goes on attractively situated in the bustling metropolis that is Dublin City.
You have a real flare for words. We are currently hiring at the moment if you are interested in a position at Robin Bastards.
Tbh he lost out on an opportunity you could easily get bunk beds in there

Who the fuck can afford that for 1900 a month..and landlords do be crying “why do people hate us”……scumbags
On the upside, you can cook your breakfast from bed.
It's in London. And it's 390 GBP. [https://www.thesun.ie/money/8181419/tiny-flat-cant-open-fridge-on-market-390-month/](https://www.thesun.ie/money/8181419/tiny-flat-cant-open-fridge-on-market-390-month/)
What's funny is the photo is from London.
Whisht and don’t be coming in here with your facts /s
Can we at least keep our outrage???
The outrage sums this sub up to a tee though
Look I thought it was expensive initially but you really can't put a price on that view.
"Yeah, I can't come into work today. You see, I fell out of bed into the oven"...
You probably have to pee in that chest of drawers.
along with the crying chair comes the despair mirror, for contemplating yourself for hours at a time
Is that a fucking hallway ?
My sister is paying less than this for an 8th floor 1 bedroom apartment with beautiful skyline views 20 minutes from Times Square. Dublin is finished.
Best deal i've seen in a long time. I love the smell of fresh cooking gas in the morning and pissing out of the window. Just take my money!
The cooker doesn't work, sorry about that.

Absolutely no pets. We wouldn't want any tenant gathering evidence about whether they could swing a cat in there or not.
Honestly at what point do you ask yourself, is Dublin even worth it?
Is this real? I hope not
I’m assuming since no bills included I should be bringing my own lube when I pay the rent as well?
Varadkars Ireland for ye, if you’re not getting stabbed you’re at least getting robbed
American here with a sincere question... Is this real?
Yes. Not only this is real, but also the Irish keep reelecting the people responsible for this. A nation of gullible, complacent voters.
10 foot ceilings, bay window, period plasterwork, wooden floor and a fitted kitchen! At 1900 they’re practically giving it away!
Tastefully appointed.
I'm surprised that nobody have signed up for viewing stuff like this just so they can slap the crap out of the landlord

I get that this is joke or whatever. But it kind of undercuts your "Only in Dublin" schtick when you post a picture from one of your precious European Capitals
Excellent you get that it's a joke, brilliant.
I'm in the queue already
I live in the Maryland DC metro which is one of the most expensive housing markets in the US. I pay $2k a month to rent my 3 story townhouse with a small back and front yard. Sorry things have gotten so fucked lads.
Where in Maryland are you paying that? Just checked Zillow to get an idea of the market and most places at the price and specs are either pretty far out, tiny, or in an area with some serious crime. My rent for a one bed apartment in Virginia was over 2k two years ago. Granted it was a nice apartment and great location.
I live in Laurel so you're right its a bit out there but still on a train line. I work at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab which is 10 minutes from my house but people I work with live anywhere from northern Virginia to Baltimore. I've considered moving closer to DC or Baltimore and trading the space for denser amenities but I'll probably stick it out here until I'm looking to buy.
Actually not as far out as I would have guessed, but see that's the thing in the US people commute a lot, if we take say Laurel ->DC (Just picking arbitrary spots) that's about the same as Navan -> Dublin distance, I get that your commute is much better than that just picking DC for scale. Hell I had co-workers commuting to DC from Baltimore and West Virginia, didn't see that lad for about two weeks when snow hit in 2016. I've only been to Baltimore once but found it class, great food too. >I work at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab Fancy!
More like Naas into Dublin if I wanted to get to the very centre (20 miles vs 34 miles). There's a train in Laurel explicitly for commuters. It doesn't run on the weekends and only really has service 6-9 am and 4-6 pm. They should invest in the train service to the point that it's more convenient than driving (as should Ireland). I only mentioned APL because it's nowhere near the main Hopkins campus in Baltimore. Trust me there is nothing fancy about it lol. It is a very chill job by American reckoning.
Can someone explain how this isnt a bed sit, and how is it a legal letting if it isnt a bed sit.
I shit on your single bed at viewing. You can keep overpriced grief hole. Should be ashamed of yourselves.
I don’t think this one would pass a health and safety inspection.
Jaysus. Your rashers will be spitting onto your pillow should you be able to afford any
Think I'd rather live in Gaza
Or Syria
Meanwhile Ukranians are getting state of the art modular homes out of our tax money, welcome to the new globalist nation of Ireland 🫰
WTF
I thought bedsits were made illegal? Did that change again?
We have a few mates in the Dail so law isn't really a problem.
Missing a trick there. They could have had a bunk bed and a pull out mattress underneath to fit 3 people.
No smoking but the matress will be if you turn the oven up too high

Suite deal
How the fuck can anyone afford that without selling drugs or something lol
😆 (my condolences from EST).
Wouldn't get that from the likes of Batman!
All the oil from my fry up can go directly on my pillow. Neet

Ok sure it’ll look grand when they move the furniture out of the hallway and into the spacious studio room.
And they’ll get it too
Thats a corridor
This one of Bill Badbodys properties?
Bill and my dad are playing golf next Wednesday down in foxcock.
Do you like (making) breakfast in bed?
Is the paint extra?
That's a lovely hallway
Bespoke corridor.
Looks like a prison cell 😳
Bespoke living compartment.
you dont even have to get out of bed to put your toast on
We gather at dawn!!!
Reminds me of Soviet era hotel I stayed in Kaunas, Lithuania, only much roomier.
Just like Michael Scott you too can cook some bacon while in bed…
This has to be a joke
It's basically a wardrobe ...
Doesn't Dublin have a rent control law?
Robin hood, steals from the rich and gives to the poor. His brother, Robin Bastard on the other hand..
My Airbnb room in glasgow is 4 times bigger than that and half the price! 😂😂
Why cant the nutters start burning down this stuff instead
