Price increase that landlords can take or leave = "bullying tactics". I've heard it all now.This is about a monopoly using bullying tactics . What I would give to clip their wings .

be ready for Tyre Kickers if you use Done Deal , questions like ,what year is the Property , how many previous owners, is the price negotiable, do you accept cash , so to speakFacebook? Done deal?
Does this mean that the reports from Daft showing very low levels of available properties to rent are a reflection of their price increases rather than the real level of available property for rent?

Next rental vacancy comes up I will use my home.ie, 30 eur for basic 50 eur for premium
I would strongly advise that you give careful consideration before going down this route. From past experience the responsibilty for the upkeep of the property ususually falls between two stools... a faceless person in HR in a large organisation (corporate signatory), and a tenant, usually short term, who may leave the property while travelling for work with utilities running 24x7.... a landlord may only enter the property for inspection purposes after giving adequate notice in writing to the HR department.... not much use if you can spot a problem kerbside.Sometimes the company themselves will enter into a contract with you and lease the property medium term from you to have available for their staff.
Or has the drop off in use by landlords caused them to increased prices?It is interesting though. Daft listings are pretty much a barometer for availability and prices… if (esp decent non price gouging!) LL’s aren’t using it then the stats are pretty distorted?
...so there are less people advertising property for rent on their website, so they have to increase the fees to advertise...Anyway, In this market there is no need to use DAFT. Word of mouth should fill the property in no time.
I suspect that is what has happened. There was a time when you had to advertise on daft.ie to find a tenant. Not these days. I ask my departing tenants to put the word out....so there are less people advertising property for rent on their website, so they have to increase the fees to advertise...
Daft, adverts, rent, and Donedeal all owned by the same group.I explored Rent .ie - its owned by Daft - same charges , is the penny dropping now !!!!!!!!
So there is an alternative already? (I had thought that myhome.ie was just for estate agents)

Why not set up in competition?
That is how a market works. They have no monopoly.
If you are a member of the Irish Property Owners Association , then encourage them to set up a competitor.
