    Hi everybody, few months ago we gave notice to our landlord that we will vacate the rented property.
    Looking on daft.ie, I saw photos of the house we are still living in, with the full address.
    Also few days ago we had somebody knocking on our door asking to see the house, and somebody else parking at the rear of the house ( which is private property ) looking for the same.
    I gently advise them to get in contact with the estate agent !!!!
    Now, I wonder, how legal is it for a landlord to put such specific details ( full address and photos) on the internet, of the house I am still living in and paid for the month in advance???
    Thanks.

    He's allowed to do it, how else is he going to rent it out asap after you leave?

    These people should organise a viewing through the LL or EA but you don't have to facilitate any viewings if you you don't want to. These people have obviously just not bothered with the EA or LL, but that's not the LL's fault.

    It's his property. He wants to find a tenant. That's sort of how it's done.
    Similarly, when people are selling their house they also include the house number and address.

    Yup. How else would they rent it, if people don't know where it is. Just tell the EA that they should put on the site that viewing is by appointment only, and appointments only via the EA. As for anyone who turns up, tell to contact the EA.
