    I'm probably going to be moving back to Dublin in the next month and will have to houseshare with randomers. Any time I've lived in Dublin I've lived with people I know. So I'm a bit apprehensive about potential scammers.

    Is it normal practise to contact the landlord directly or should you deal with whoever is in the house? I'd be very reluctant to hand over any money without any paperwork, considering I don't even know them.

    Any advice appreciated.

    Very much depends as some landlords rent on a room-by-room basis and they're your point of contact but in other cases the landlord rents the whole house to one tenant who sublets the rooms.

    Have a gawk at the Accommodation & Property forum, lots of info there.
