Looks like everything that is nice is bad.

Remember a bit of advice given to an elderly lad in his 80’s
“John, if you gave up your beloved cigarettes you’d live longer”
“No, it would just feel longer” he said...

Spending evenings doing a deep clean on house after dirty tenant moved out.

People are filthy animals and I’d rather be home cleaning my pig shed - that’s clean dirt as my father used to say.

We were just glad to get them out of the house. Didn't matter what cleaning up had to be done after them.

Saw a house rented to a Doctor and his family. (in Carrickfern)
When they ran out of loo roll in the downstairs toilet, they pulled strips of wallpaper off the wall beside the bowl.
Rubbed theur fingers in the wall afterwards as well ......

The previous tenants left the house absolutely perfect, they treated it like their own which was great.
This last lot marriage broke up and I’d said January was bringing a rent review, it all went to pot, I’d not been in the house in 9-10 months and it was ok’ish then, must have been an effort to do nothing since.

This is a house I built and we lived in for 15years as our home, it’s a bad idea to rent out a house like that, too emotionally attached to it.

Already have stream of calls to rent it, serious shortage of rentals now and rents have gone crazy.

There's no houses to rent in our area at all. The people who moved into our house had been living with their parents.

Friends rent a house out in Cavan, family moved out had been using sitting room as rubbish tip, 6 months of rubbish with nappies tossed in through it all.

And all I hear is more and more legislation being brought on to protect tenants

Handing someone a €300,000 plus property for a few hundred deposit and no real other protection or comeback when it’s abused.

Thinking of two months rent as next deposit. Would weed out more undesirables and give more leverage at the end.

We had relatives renting, they were worse than people you don't know. It's a minefield

You should inspect the property at least every 3 months but you have to agree the time/date with the tenant. If they keep refusing to agree a date you issue them with a 28 day notice of breach of tenant responsibilities. Keep a record/copy of all letters, emails, texts etc.
@ Brian, a two month deposit plus a month up front is the way that I would go.

You couldn't be up to some people. Foreign family moved out of a house in Cavan town (up The Cock Hill) and when I was checking it, I happened to look up in the attic. Every fire that they had lit in the previous 2 years, they had put the ashes and clinkers in a plastic bag, knotted it and fired it up into the roof space.
A wonder the ceiling didn't come down.

Chop two onions. Put milk in a saucepan. Add your onions. Simmer.
Add ground up pepper.
Then add a drop of brandy while simmering.

Drink while warm before bed.

I was expecting you to say that, they burned the timber from the roof. Something I heard done in student houses in Limerick.

I ate some many years ago (early 90's) when they came onto the Irish market at a in house work party (no alcohol) and they spent the next few days trying to crawl outta my tummy :mad:

Brexit is a poisoned chalice, she survived because no one else wanted to drive it on.
I don't think there's a practical solution so they left it with May, she definitely is a stonger position now because of this failed heave

A little bit of digging throws up that she has Type 1 diabetes which can cause osteoporosis and a hunch.

Clinkers are the pieces of iron ore coal that haven't burned out. They are the big bits that you see in the grate.

My own thoughts on Brexit are that it'll result in an all island one government ruled Ireland.

There's no other logical answer to all this.

You have the DUP even now pressing on May to go back to the EU looking for a no backstop deal which the EU at this moment look like they won't budge on.
And let's face if the DUP get their way and there's no backstop in Ireland it's going to feck up northern and the republic of Ireland.

Hopefully sense will prevail.

Thanks for that. Living in the bog we've never burned coal. Every day's a school day!

Fair play to her, her plan I reckon is to get her deal past parliament and then go back to the public to vote either remain or accept her deal.

Nobody could drive it on and they know it. The main thorns in her side (Borris/Mogg and their ilk) always knew this and continued to be the hurlers on the ditch.

"Romantic" notions aside; This would create chaos. It would take 10-15 year (my guess) for the ramifications of a united Ireland to really play out and settle down. Everyone and their mother is tied in to the civil service in the North, if not directly then by relying on contracted works. Having to deal with that lame horse would cripple our economy.

I really feel sorry for those represented by the DUP. They are the epitome of 'cutting off your nose to spite your face'.

I'd say more the North rather than Republic.

The EU have thrown the UK a lifeline stating Article 50 can be revoked. Sense prevailing would mean they grab it.

After getting involved in money laundering. Couldn't find my wallet this morning. I was throwing wet clothes into machine last night when phone rang. Never emptied pants pockets. Eventually found it after emptying machine. €50 note, cheque for €800 three bank cards and a few receipts. Cheque from neighbour so no problem there. I suppose cards would be o.k..
