A place of my own

    It has been a week since I have come to Ireland. I found a room in a house through daft.ie. Everything goes well here but in a contract, my landlord says that any of my visitors will cost some charge per night. I love the location, atmosphere and everything but I really don't like this condition. I want every friend of mine can visit me anytime they and I want. If I want a place of my own, without anyone's restriction, what kind of accommodation will suit for me?

    Tell your landlord to take a hike. He/she can't prove anything.

    is this a room rental, or are you renting the whole place?

    if it were just a room he might be thinking that you'd be having friends over all the time, and doesnt want them to end up effectively staying with you permanently for free (maybe this happened in previous experiences he had renting a room)

    if you're renting the whole place yourself, that condition is total BS. you can have whoever you want over, as long as you're prepared to take 100% responsibility for their actions.

    either way I'd go elsewhere, there's an abundance of places to rent, and you'll easily find one who doesnt apply such strange conditions

    It is just a room rental. That's why the landlord has this condition because this is his house. So I want to move out after a few months but I don't know which accommodation would suit for me. A flat or a studio? What makes difference between a room, a flat or a studio rent?

    A room is one bedroom for yourself in a shared flat -- sharing the flat's kitchen/living room/bathroom with other people.

    A studio (also known as a bedsit) is a flat with a combined living room/bedroom -- you don't have to share with other people and it's your own place so you can do what you want, but it's a bit cramped.

    So you're living with your landlord? That would make such a condition very common...the landlord decides to rent a room to someone they think they can live with, they don't want all kinds of strangers to be coming to stay.
