The rental market, particularly via platforms like Daft, is unforgivingâmost appealing house-shares tend to attract younger tenants, and many hosts express a preference for female roommates. Available options often consist of single box rooms priced around â¬1,000 monthly. More attractive accommodations rarely make it to public listings, further complicating C's search. This situation highlights a broader crisis in the Dublin housing market, making it difficult for those on modest incomes to secure suitable living spaces.
"Searching for somewhere to live in Dublin has been disheartening; many listings prefer female housemates and options are limited for someone in their late 40s."
