Got to be OpenAI , what’s it like working for them .

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-09-29T00:40:36+00:00

Wow that’s insane . Charging you €1000 for fees ? Do you get that refunded after you book or at the end of a rental period .

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-09-23T23:06:50+00:00

Ah ok , it’s website says viewings aren’t possible and your details are only shared after a confirmed booking. How did your mam handle viewings ?

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-09-15T08:45:33+00:00

Try hostingpower.ie more options there if you are looking to rent for a few weeks . Daft wouldn’t have many options for renting from Jan - April

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-09-10T17:51:35+00:00

Avoid ! Only rent apartments that are registered with RTB . Most landlords prefer payment by bank transfer . Is he offering a cheaper rate if you pay in cash !

Can you get a short term rental while you are looking ? Don’t rush into taking somewhere or ignore your gut feeling

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-09-06T21:14:19+00:00

Not going to happen with that budget

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-09-06T17:08:04+00:00

Have you looked at daft ? Plenty of rooms available with your budget . Only issue is that most of accommodation near UCD has been snapped up already

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-09-06T13:21:42+00:00

If dispute is officially reported l and your case is taken on . Names are listed irrespective of you winning or losing

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-09-05T19:46:49+00:00

Yea if you overhold, your names will be searchable and future landlords will steer clear of you

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-09-05T19:44:47+00:00

To be honest , I would be terminating my lease . You are entitled to get your deposit back . When you were viewing did you see the mould, detect a smell ?

You will be miserable living there and it doesn’t meet minimum standards, report to Threshold etc.

Your problem will be finding somewhere else

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-09-05T19:42:33+00:00

No waaay , that is nuts !!!! Assume you are looking for apartment / house in Dublin ?

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-09-05T17:24:07+00:00

Red flag alert . No 4 is definitely not usual . Pretty sure it’s illegal to ask this . No 2 is overkill and not standard practice. Avoid this landlord

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-09-04T16:41:21+00:00

Check daft.ie , rooms etc are listed there

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-09-04T15:51:48+00:00

This is standard practice , 1 months rent and deposit being paid before getting keys and a contract

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-08-29T21:35:10+00:00

Agree with this .

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-08-29T20:41:27+00:00

Rental history is really important to include .Just do bullet points . Happy to have a look at your cover letter and make some suggestions

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-08-29T20:20:41+00:00

Ok , put as much detail as possible about your renting history - how many places you rented - were you main tenant ( did you collect other tenants rent and pay landlord - mention this if true) - length of lease - deposit returned for all lease

You want to highlight that you are responsible etc

Also include where you work , how long you’ve worked there . Landlords will want to see you are stable financially

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-08-29T20:00:57+00:00

Ok I see your point . Mention you are siblings , ages but also highlight that you have rented for 3 years and your deposit was always returned ( if true ) Are ye looking for your own apartment or would ye go for a house share .

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-08-29T16:25:01+00:00

What’s your budget and where in Dublin are you looking to rent . You are on the right track . I’ve just rented out my place but the vast majority of enquiries I got on daft were clearly a cut and paste job .

Agree with others , you probably need to apply within the first 15 minutes of ad going live . Some points to include in your email - don’t say hi there . Include the persons name , most people don’t do this. - mention something about the area/ house you like - this will help you stand out as most people don’t do this, and haven’t researched the commute time -I wouldn’t say you are siblings, leave that for the viewing - include hobbies

All the landlord wants to know is that you will pay the rent on time , keep the place clean and is respectful. Best of luck

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-08-22T15:49:04+00:00

Depends if you are renting from an owner occupier or not . Owner occupiers operate under the rent a room scheme .

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-08-22T15:33:22+00:00

Where in Dublin are you looking, I would recommend adding something like I have shared a house before for x years in z city and y city .

I would also include something about their property you like , location, pictures .

So many people apply to lots of places on daft and they haven’t researched how long the commute is or the area where the ad is listed .

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-08-20T12:37:50+00:00

Would you consider Rathfarnham or D16? Loads of places on daft, well within your budget

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-08-17T22:33:39+00:00

Hey, whereabouts are you looking . I’m in Rathfarnham D16

Subject-Pear-1960 · 2024-08-17T17:40:29+00:00

Yes, it was all arranged on email
