Tallaght house available to rent for an eye-watering €9k a month

By Katy Thornton.

The Dublin property will set its tenants back €9,350 per month.

Anyone who has ever tried to rent in Dublin knows the situation is fairly dire. Daft is often a place where dreams often go to die, whether that's a landlord trying to pass off a black bin bag as a wall, a literal tent in someone's back garden passing as suitable living conditions worth €40 a night, or renting a single bed in a shared room for €800. Not to mention the queues and queues you often see of people desperately trying to secure a place to live. As someone who has been to their fair share of viewings, there's nothing quite like being one of 20 different groups trying to market themselves as ideal tenants, particularly when you're often up against families of four or five looking at the same place as you, part of a couple.

The D24 property will set its tenants back €9,350 per month, and if the house reaches capacity with 11 tenants, that will make their rent €850 a month, which in this day and age is somewhat "standard" rent. This house is also marketed towards students, who are unlikely to be able to afford €850 rent a month. This is what Daft says of the property:

"HWP The Property specialists have a number of properties ideal for company/colleges lets in DUBLIN 24/DUBLIN 22.
