Brigid Browne: Will it be 'easy money' to rent a modular home in our garden to students? 

Many people assume student tenants have fewer rights, but this is not always the case

There are several practical, legal, and financial matters you should carefully examine before making any commitments about renting out a modular home in your garden

Hi Brigid,

A little background first. We’re a couple in our 60s living in Limerick. I have a part-time job which I hope to give up in a couple of years when my husband will also be retiring. We haven’t put as much money into our pensions as we should have but the mortgage on our three-bed semi is paid off.
