    They are paying a grand to rent a double room, that is hardly doing well for themselves.

    If they hadn't gotten this room-share then their alternative would have been renting a one bed apt by themselves.
    That's what we had to do as a couple and we pay €1,500 per month to do so. So i'd say they're doing really well to have that €500 extra in their pocket every month. They'd still be sharing the same bedroom in their own one bed flat.

    I'll take your point about the rental market in general being ridiculously overpriced.

    Do you mind me asking where you're renting? There are lots of areas in Dublin where you could easily get a 2-bed for that price.

    A very nice area very close to the city center! It's expensive but it suits both of our commutes and it's a really nice home. Also the lack of second bedroom discourages unwanted house-guests :D

    He was also letting the apartment to her for 800 and is now charging us 1000
    I find it amusing that you have an issue with paying a thousand, when you yourself offered that amount.
