    I live in Smithfield and am renting an apartment which comes with underground secure car space with 24 hr access via zapper.

    Since I dont have a car, I want to rent it out.

    tried gumtree and adverts.ie, but there is a high offer for car spaces in town I guess...not much feedback.

    has anyone ever tried to rent out a car space before, what are the best channels? was even thinking to stick a small ad near parking meters in town, or near the Courts, as perhaps some peopel who ork there are commuters...

    any tips?

    Check that your lease allows for you to sub let the space.

    it does.
    they gave me the option, 950/month with car space or 925/month without!
    like, rocket science? :-p

    got an offer for 70/month....but seen a few ads for up to 100€...

    €70 per month is better than nothing, if you hang out waiting for the €100 offer then you could have wasted 2/3 months rental on the space (i.e €140/210)

    I suppose yeah..
    I might just propose a 3 months or 6 months agreement...

    also, I assume this is only a verbal and informal agreement, in such case, and the person renting it won't expect a contract??

    You could stick something simple down on paper - that X agrees to pay you €x amount per month for X months for the said parking space...

    I'm not a rocket scientist but I don't think that's the same as being legally allowed,as per your lease, to rent out the parking spot to a third party.

    Sure it won't be a problem but best not to find out the hard way.

    Im pretty sure the agent said the landord gave me the option to rent the place with or without car space and I could decide what to do with it then....

    but I do follow what you mean, thanks for the head ups

    It would be fun if the owner decided to let the space separately.

    The max I'd pay there is €70. I've seen better locations go for €80-€100.

    You can advertise parking spaces on Daft.ie

    I've rented a couple of spaces in the past and have had to sign agreements. Basically covers the price, and name of owner/renter etc.. and stops the rentee renting it out themselves! It's also proof that you're renting in case anyone asks.
