Is it hard to find a rental in Dublin?

Accepted Answer

Whether you're a student looking for short-term accommodation, a family looking to rent until you can get on the property ladder, or someone who's just arrived in Dublin and needs somewhere to call home while you look for work, finding a rental property in Dublin can be difficult. If it's your first time renting – or even if it isn't – the process can be stressful and confusing, especially as the rental market is so competitive at present.

Because of this competitiveness, your best chance of finding a rental is with an estate agent. While there are certainly some private landlords and other individuals who advertise their properties online, most larger-scale rentals will go through an agency. This means that if you find a property advertised by an agency that you're interested in renting, it's important to make sure that they have all the information they need when they call you back; otherwise, they won't be able to put forward your application. However, with us, you’re saved the stress of looking for a property in Dublin because we’ve got an array of properties such as 1-2-bedroom flats tailored to your housing needs, no matter what it is.
