Landlords

Advertise Your Property

To advertise your property on the Accommodation Portal please register as landlord and add your property. For security reasons we do not allow mibile devices, you will have to use an desktop or a laptop computer. All questions are mandatory if they do not apply to your property please mark with n/a. There is no fee to advertise on our portal, however we reserve the right to remove properties that appear fraudulent, exceed our recommended rent rates, or unsuitable for students.

If your room offer includes meals, this should be negotiated with the student. Please note that even if full board or meals are included, the student must still have access to the kitchen as necessary.

If you have any queries or wish to remove your listing, please contact accommodation@tcdsu.org.

Recommended Rates

Trinity College Dublin Students’ Union is mandated by its students to strive for affordable accommodation for our students. Advertising through our portal is an exclusive opportunity in which landlords can advertise directly to Trinity College students, without any cost for advertising. We ask you to regard such points when considering a rent price for students that is feasible and affordable during this current cost of living and housing crisis.

Notes

  • Please note that our portal advertises rooms in owner-occupied homes (i.e., DIGs) or entire apartments and houses (in which the owner does not live). If your property is shared, i.e., rooms are already rented out to other tenants, this can be shared via our Facebook Group only. We will not advertise bedsits on our portal.
  • Please note that we reserve the right to remove properties if they do not align with our mandate of affordable accommodation or appear unsuitable for student occupancy.
  • Note that if meals are included that should be discussed between the landlord and the student. If meals are included, the student must still have access to the kitchen facilities.
