IF YOU’RE RENTING at the moment then you know that we’re in the midst of one of the worst housing crisis that many of us can remember. With some landlords thinking it’s ok to rent out sheds as houses, it’s pretty bleak out there.
Heres 13 tweets about renting that probably won’t cheer you up in the slightest.
The shows we watched as kids made it look so easy.
Do you ever think about your childhood dreams of what you wanted your life to be like as an adult, and laugh at how unrealistic they were? I wanted to live in a one-bedroom flat over a corner shop or chipper. Imagine, being an adult and being able to rent alone! Kids 🙄
When in reality trying to find somewhere to live is a nightmare.
I have a pump house in The Pale only 40 mins from Dublin Airport. It’s got a light, a door, and a socket for your phone. But you can’t stand up in it. And if you can pick up the WiFi you’re welcome to that too. €400p/w One year deposit required in advance.
If you do find somewhere, your roommates can be worse somehow.
Forever thinking about the guy who kinda tried to move into our apartment without paying rent cos he had recently bought Yeezys and hoped we would understand
Especially if they’re late with their share of the rent.
My housemate went out last night but he never came home and I couldn't get through to him all day. I was incredibly worried and kept thinking what if he was hurt or dead and I'd have to come up with all the rent myself this month? But it all worked out. Landlord let me off.
And we’re expecting it to get a lot worse before it gets better.
There's a dead whale washed up on the beach here. If that happened in Portmarnock, a landlord would hollow it out and rent it out for €900 a month because it came with 'sea views'.
Lads pls someone rent me out a room, that isn’t an absolute shithole, close enough to town, but also for a reasonable price so I don’t have to sell a kidney to afford it. Pls and thank u xx
So in the end you spend your money on things that make you happy and hope against hope that the crisis might end soon.
My brother just told Mam his tattoo will cost €1,300 and she said "that's a deposit on a house". Had to remind her that it's actually only a months rent in Sallins

Nothing surprises you anymore.
Except the price of rent itself.
And we’re expecting it to get a lot worse before it gets better.
It seems like everyone you’ve ever met is off doing something cooler than you.
You’re sick of being told that giving up lattes means you’ll be able to buy a house.
So you start coming up with new ways to afford to live.
Some which could be more painful than others.
So in the end you spend your money on things that make you happy and hope against hope that the crisis might end soon.
Gods speed.
