WTF!? This Daft.ie listing in Dublin has a ridiculous requirement for future tenants

Getting that degree in jam-making was worth it after all...

A lot of jobs these days require you to have a third-level qualification before you even get to the interview process, but this is just taking the biscuit.

Finding a nice place to live in Dublin is a fairly tough task as property in the city is highly sought after. Even if you do find a nice place in a nice area, chances are the rent could be out of your price range.

So when you do find a nice house in a nice area at a decent rent, you count yourself ruddy lucky to finally find a place to call home.

There is, unfortunately, one more requirement that you must fulfil before renting this gaff in Dublin 7, and that’s a third-level education.

But why, JOE?

Well, according to the listing it’s because: “the existing house mates are all either professionals or post graduate students.”

Oh.

Daft

That’s a nice way to plainly state the house is NOT a party house.

Fair enough…
