Finding a place to stay in Ireland is a stroke of luck. Sometimes, you never hear back from your house queries for a long time and other times you end up getting an answer back instantly. While going through this roller coaster ride, it's very easy to fall for scams and lose out on hard earned money.
Rule of thumb is never go for owners who are not in Ireland themselves or cannot give a proper viewing of the place before asking for the deposit. Always ask for receipts, it's very useful in case of any disputes at a later stage. Make sure to save all communication threads between yourself and the landlord.
Moving so far away from friends and families can be a daunting experience. But believe me, there are good people out there. If you ever feel like you are being bullied or being taken advantage of, always take the help of Gardai and RTB (Residential Tenancies Board). If in severe cases, the Embassy can also help out with tricky situations. Know that you're not alone. Stay Safe, Stay Happy :) Enjoy.
