Once you’ve found an ideal place to rent, chances are you also have competitors wanting to lease the property. Better act fast and immediately contact the person in the listing to extend your interest in renting the place. Like in most countries, renting in Ireland is very straightforward. The landlord will be prepared to let you sign a lease contract, and you should be ready to hand over copies of your passport, visa, employment contract, and contact references where they can verify your details. You may or may not get assistance from a real estate agent in walking these documents for you, however, if you prefer to hire one, you will be charged a fee.
