I am in the process of buying an apartment on the Affordable Housing Scheme from Dublin City Council. At the viewing I asked if I could rent a room to which no was the answer. This seems absurd and my cousin recently bought on the Fingal scheme and was told that she could. Another friend is getting a 3 bed house on the Fingal scheme and was told he could rent up to two of the rooms.
My understanding was that the rent-a-room scheme is an arrangement between you and the Revenue Commissioners, not the Council....
