I would see if you can find someone who works in your target companies who can either get you the name of the correct contact in HR or ability to post on internal noticeboards, slack channels etc. You probably might be able to find someone in your contacts who has a contact there I bet - Ireland def feels that small sometimes! Or even just call into reception with a letter or note with the details and see if the reception team will pass it on. I have also seen more and more ads on the local FB pages where I live.
Renting my home short term, seeking advice on where to find tenants
- Thread starter Tivida
- Start date
Smoke alarms etc have to be wired, least in Co Longford under tge RAS scheme.
Thanks for this, I had dismissed the idea of the Red Cross as the last Id heard is that the government were offering 800 per house per month which is way below market value. But 1,600 certainly more attractive and there would be no need to spend on letting agents fees. Only problem might be I am not connected by proper public transport, you need a car to live here. I'll still look in to it, otherwise do you know if the house owner has any control on the tenants or is it just take what they send there?
I think there was a thread on here not so long ago where a poster said their inspector told them the 10 year battery ones were not acceptable... I'll look it up later if I get time.
Perhaps this is the thread here https://www.askaboutmoney.com/threads/rented-apartment-inspection.229761/
Accommodation Recognition Payment for hosting refugees from Ukraine
The Accommodation Recognition Payment is a monthly payment for people providing accommodation to people fleeing the conflict in Ukraine.
This is the checklist I read. Different probably to other schemes.

Ring HR of the companies you want to target. Multi nationals all have intranet systems where stuff like this is put up for employees to see.
Thanks, will spend some time doing this early next week. Tenants from an MNC would be ideal rather than selecting from lots of Daft replies

It ain't all that
MNCs will not be interested in something that only runs for 5 months
Best bet is local estate agent who knows the area.
No sooner the tenant moves in
Hell be moving out again

And even the mid-sized ones like where I work will not deal with individuals. We regularly source temporary accommodation for new-hires coming from abroad, but will only deal with approved agencies.
Still think you'd be foolish to pass up the ukrainian option too quickly.
Possibly but tenure rules change all the time and the Shinners could be in before the tenants are out.
They need commitment for 6 months.
How long does the process take just to be accepted?

Imagine being doorstepped by a journalist next autumn and being asked "why are you throwing a refugee family out onto the street?".

I agree.
Given the risks and rewards I would advise the OP to find a friend or family member to take it on a caretaker basis.
The rental market is tight everywhere and OP will have no problem finding someone.
Months, and often many months.
OP here just said Id come back and update the thread. I got the house rented via an agent to a civil engineering company who will place three of their engineers in it while they work on a major project locally. While nothing in this is guaranteed my mind is more put at ease renting to a company than a family for fear they would refuse be able to move at the end of the lease. While that could happen with a company it is less likely they would get into an overholding scenario. This company rents several houses around the country so could move employees about as needed. Anyway thanks for all the help and advice, it is much appreciated.
