Parody Daft.ie ad nails what it's like to rent in Dublin

Red tape and ridiculous hoops to be jumped through - all for the privilege of living in an expensive shoebox.

Anyone looking to rent in Dublin over the weekend would have had their hopes raised by this post on Daft.ie advertising a room in Dublin city centre for the relatively affordable price of €500 a month.

Unfortunately, it was, of course, too good to be true as the ad was in reality a pretty dead-on parody of what it’s like to rent in Dublin - complete with a ridiculous list of requirements and terrifying living conditions.

The advertiser was named as Al Bundy. And the bedroom looks like this.

Looks about right.
