Re: Sex for rent issues in Dublin
Speaking as a man, if an (attractive) property owning lady were hypothetically to offer me a free home and lodgings in exchange for mandatory physical relations of the fun kind, I would find it awkward to decline. Where precisely do I find these degrading adverts and do they include photos of the potential offenders? Just asking for a friend.
Well, it depends "mandatory physical relations" when it comes to it may be more interesting than than it seems at first glance. Not too long ago a group of close male friends done time for engaging in acts of a sexual nature, fully consensual you understand, but nonetheless they got prison! It seems their idea of erotic fun was to nail their nether parts to the dining room table. So "mandatory" might not fit the bill or anything else for that matter.

Re: Sex for rent issues in Dublin
From a legal perspective, it can only concern any form of unofficial letting. Nothing written in contract and no security at all. If the female disagrees in sleeping with the landlord once in a while, she would have to vacate the property, most likely at once. As this is legally and morally unacceptable, it certainly won't be written in contract, as it would automatically incriminate the landlord. Also prostitution, accepting money for sex is illegal in Ireland. The same would probably apply for accepting any form of residence for sex.
The problem would be if the landlord only verbally demanded to sleep with the female tenant once, with the objective to get her name on the letting agreement. And even then, there is no guarantee, that she would be getting the letting agreement. It wouldn't surprise me at all if this would be happening in Dublin's letting market, also it's hard to prove in a court of law.....

Re: Sex for rent issues in Dublin
3 years ago, Dublin was the only place where I ever had property viewings with 60 other interested parties. There was no opportunity for me to ever influence the decision in my favour.
The Dublin rental market is very specific in a negative matter, and I've lived in many different places.
Renting in London ( Zone 3 ), UK was easier and way way less competitive when it came to viewings.

I do not know what it is but I suspect landlords in Ireland are even more averse to paying tax on their income than landlords in any other country? It is not as if Ireland did not have a housing glut not so long ago.

Re: Sex for rent issues in Dublin
Regardless of that owning a property in Ireland is far more straightforward than other countries.

It's more the cost of renting which seems disproportionately sky high and very very competitive, to the likes I've never seen before, not even London UK.

Apparently the subject sex for rent and the rental crisis seems to flourish and bloom in Dublin.

Re: Sex for rent issues in Dublin
I think the housing crisis in Dublin is often downplayed same as sex for rent issues with words like "it's happening in other cities as well", yes, it does to most likely does, but other cities don't have this kind of housing crisis as Dublin has.
