We all know that the rental situation in Ireland is pretty grim at the moment – and that’s putting things lightly.
People seem to be fed up with no lack of solution, which is why the emergence of a campaign today by the Dublin Tenants Association is starting to blow up on social media.
They’ve asked people to share their stories in their most simple form written on paper and with a photo of the situation they find themselves in.
Interesting to watch where this goes but the public are right behind it straight away.
