Holiday Home trashed in Kerry

Rew

Reminds me of a few threads that have cropped up here where young people were finding it hard to rent holiday homes...

The bannisters were ripped off the stairs?



If a bunch of travellers did this it would be on the front page of some tabloid.

Rented out by a number of students, also rented online! are the owners resident in the area? why would they allow a gang of kids into their house without a serious deposit?

Also to say that €4000 damage was dont to a "luxury" house doesn't sound like a lot of damage considering the cost of a handyman or decorators and the repairs or replacement of broken items!

Am actually looking around at the moment to book a place; and that's why I came across this on boards;

Based on my quick search for holiday homes, I would say:

All the enquiries I have done were made online.
Standard deposit for damage is €100, where it is applied at all.

Its gas the way people resort to victim blaming as a reflex. The place was trashed. There is no 'other side' to the story.

They probably didn't let on they were students when booking etc.

Whoever rented the house should be held responsable. A Nightmare for the owners.
