Criticism after Limerick student house advertised for 'only open-minded people'

Call for Government to clamp down on unscrupulous landlords

The ad outlined that the downstairs double room was “occupied by owner and willing to share the room for 3 months only. Only open-minded people should apply”. 

A house offered for rent in a student area of Limerick for “only open-minded people” has been slammed as an example of how renters are being targeted by unscrupulous people.

Executive director of the Irish Council for Overseas Students, Laura Harmon, said the advertisement, which has now been removed from Daft.ie, shows that renters under “immense pressure to find somewhere to rent” are being taken advantage of.
