    Get the feeling asking to get something fixed would land you into the 'nightmare' category with this guy.

    HAP is a farce of a system. The government need to provide the required amount of social accommodation so that the state is not funding private landlords, it just feeds rent hikes. HAP should also be a temporary/medium term assistance payment. Having tenants on HAP year after year after year is ridiculous. Basically it's the tax payer topping up peoples' incomes for rental properties they cannot actually afford.

    The dodgy renters should get mortgages, they could not pay a cent on the mortgage for 10 years and still live in the place.

    I fixed a computer for a woman in a leafy suburb of Dublin a couple of years ago. Nice big 3 bedroom house. While waiting for the updates to download I offhandedly said "Gorgeous house, I bet this costs a fair whack to rent". She goes, "No, I get the HAP so its only 400 a month".

    This huge house, I cant imagine what the real rent is but 2+ grand of it is being covered by the state. I was shocked.

    I'd do a 5 minute inspection on someone's car that would tell me if they were going to be a good tennant.

    She hasn't had a bad tenant, probably because she's excluded certain people. And fair play to her. No point taking a chance with such a major investment. And you can be sure the rental agencies won't exclude certain people and they won't care about the property like you do.

    These landlord 'woe is me' segments always end up with some absolute dose of a landlord on the line and you lose any sympathy you might have built up for the original caller.

    Haven't had the dose on yet although this one probably has her moments

    Remember reading the figures for the average sort of HAP payments a few years back, they were basically what my mortgage was. I do think there are cases for it, absolutely, when there is a shortage of properties out there and people find themselves in a desperate situation (losing a job etc.) - but it's the long term nature of it that I think is very wrong. I think people just get comfortable with the payment and get used to living with HAP as a regular part of their income. Build proper council accommodation that the council OWNS (i.e. doesn't sell for give away prices like in the past) which tenants in need can rent at a reduced rate. That and zero tolerance for anti-social behaviour.

    It will end up costing another €14k to get it delisted on Airbnb 🤔

    A friend of mine rented a house to the co.co. They installed a Nigerian family in same. When they got the premises back they found parts of the stairs in the fireplace. The co.co. reinstated the property for them. Great little country.
