It seems like everyone and their mother is trying to rent in Dublin at the minute.
Between constantly refreshing Daft and endless open viewings, it’s a frustrating experience that can seem never-ending.

We here at Lovin Dublin want to help you achieve your rental dreams, so we’ve compiled a list of things that landlords typically look for from tenants.
This is a fairly standard requests from landlords/agents - just to make sure you're not going to be throwing any Project X-esque major ragers.
Again, standard enough. Gotta make sure you can afford that ridiculously overpriced rent.

Expect this to be somewhere between €600 and €75,000, no matter where you're renting.
Try saying 'alakazam', 'password' or 'password123' to the landlord when you meet them initially.
Wait, what?

This always looks better presented in a nice, crisp envelope.

It's just as well, because by the time you find somewhere to rent, you will have aged significantly.
Uh ...
It's imperative that you bring this, otherwise you can kiss that extortionately priced two-bed in Ranelagh goodbye.

This stands as the ultimate proof that you are the model tenant.
Landlords occasionally ask for these to make sure you'll pay your rent on time and that you're not spending €45 a week on Pokémon GO.
Everyone knows that anoraks make the best tenants.

Fun fact: tenants LOVE renting to servants of God. It goes without saying that the Pope's word would be best, but some landlords would also be willing to settle for your local parish priest.
Now you're all set to take on the big bad world of renting! Happy house hunting!
