Upfront costs may include a security deposit and the first month's rent. Be sure to clarify these costs with the landlord or agent.
A security deposit is a refundable amount paid to the landlord to cover potential damages or unpaid rent. In Ireland, it's usually one month's rent, but this can vary.
A lease is a legally binding contract between you and the landlord. It should include details about rent, the duration of the tenancy, responsibilities of both parties, and any special terms or conditions.
The notice period can vary depending on the type of tenancy and how long you've been renting. Check your lease agreement for specific details.
Many landlords have specific policies regarding pets. Some may allow pets with an additional deposit or rent, while others may have a strict no-pet policy. Always check with the landlord.
Landlords are typically responsible for major repairs and maintenance. However, tenants are usually responsible for day-to-day upkeep and reporting any issues promptly.
Tenants have legal rights in Ireland, including the right to a safe and habitable living environment. Familiarize yourself with the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 for more details.

In Ireland, there are restrictions on how and when landlords can increase rent. Rent reviews are typically allowed once a year, and proper notice must be given.

To end a tenancy, you'll typically need to provide written notice, ensure the property is in good condition, and arrange for the return of your security deposit.
