Lettings in Dublin?

Question

Everytime estate agents advertise rentals, they mention LEASE 1 YEAR for example. Does it mean that after 1 year one has to move out to another flat? I am just curious...

Could you tell me how it ussually works with landlords?

Thankx

Answer 1

Usually, it means that the minimum term for the lease is 1 year. You have the option of moving when the 1 year is up, or the landlord will usually offer another 1 year lease at the end of the term. Usually, the landlord is happy to offer another 1 year lease if he/she is continuing to rent the place after the term is up.

Answer 2

it means that you have to stay for a year, and then after that it is up to you an your landlord to decide on whether to renew the lease for a further length of time, or for you to move out. :)

Answer 3

Well that really depends you see you can het flats for a longer term or a shorter term.Depending o your needs (studen might need a shorter term.But there are quite a few dodgy private landlords you can check with a housing crowd Threshold for the best options they have one office in Smithfield that I know off but don't sign anything before you check out your options.Also Focus Ireland in Temple bar are a great help.Good luck.

Answer 4

Usually, you have a one year lease, and it's renewable if both parties (i.e. the tenants and the landlord) agree. You can move out after that period and go somewhere else if you want to, but normally you don't have to. I've lived in two houses with a 'one year lease' for two years and three years respectively, so I don't think you'll have any problems. If you're a good tenant, of course!
