    Ok I have a house in Dublin to live in this year but I have to fill a twin room in order to be able to afford it.

    So I'm looking for 2 people willing to share a room or a couple as there is a double room too.

    €375 per person per month...a very good deal at less than €100 a week.

    The guy letting it said he could try and get the neighbours to let us use their wifi at €20 a month or something.

    I need to know as soon as possible.

    Any takers?

    €750 a month for a room!!! :eek: You are on another planet if you think anyone will pay that.

    As for using a neighbour's wi-fi, no right minded person would allow you to access their broadband. They would ultimately be responsible for your internet activity :eek:

    It's mainly aimed at students and for the city centre its pretty good. I've looked everywhere in the city and you wont get anywhere for less than €850 a month unless you're willing to live in a complete dive.

    Is it near any college? If you are, you might be able to find students by putting up a notice about it there.

    When I was in college, one of my friends were paying €95 a week for a medium size room, €50 each for a couple person sharing, but the house was barely 5 minutes away from the college.

    €375 each a month sounds way to much, to be honest. I doubt you will find someone...

    Still needs to be a lot less for a house share

    Here's a 1 bed apartment around the corner from Bolton St for €700 pm

    We do intend to let them use the Kitchen and living room and maybe even the bathroom. What's the difference in that and what I'm offering except 2 housemates?

    Let Anna-Banana set the price at whatever she wants. The market will decide if it's fair or not...

    It's a 9 month lease so the person letting it is covering himself. it works out cheaper than paying slightly less for a 12 month lease.

    It's not my price anyway.

    it would pay you to move out of the city and within bus reach of same
    you would get a beautiful two bedtoomed apartment within half hours reach of city for five or six hundred euro per month
    whoever own that house is not fair in these bad times, could come down a couple hundred as your wages have taken a hammering we all have to take a hammering

    give him one months notice in writing and you are covered to get your deposit back, also you do not have to give a reason
    but i would give this reason
    it is too damn dear
    you will not survive trying to pay that kind of money

    :eek:

    Though it's still a ridiculous amount to expect for a double room in a shared house when you have one-bed flats going for less. The excesses of the Celtic Tiger live on!

    Are the door handles made of gold or something? Is there a decent view?

    OP, giz a link will ya?
