An interesting tale. At this advanced stage in my life, I happen to be renting an apartment in NY after many years of my own home in Ireland. I am paying top dollar for this abode and also had to pay what is termed a Finder's Fee to the real estate agent. despite the fact I found this place myself, this fee is one month;s rent, then there was required 2 months in advance,a damage deposit and another half month's rent as I have a small dog. The bathroom, minus a bath, shower only, had responded electrifyingly when I turned on the light. The place had been cleaned, I was told, however, my idea of cleaning was not evident. Then there were the mice. Mice in NY in July, you ask? Indeed so, two restaurants are nearby, so perhaps they call them home? Landlord's response was to shrug his shoulders: What can I do? he asked. When I woke one morning to find mouse droppings on my pillow, I moved out. A week later he assured me the problem was addressed and so I moved back in. It was not until they re-appeared in December that the full extent of their invasion was evident, they had eaten through three sweaters and two pairs of trousers. Mice of good taste, as the sweaters were cashmere. Landlords response was - you have guessed it: What can I do? After a rather inelegant expression of exasperation, I phoned and was able to have an exterminator arrive on the door stop within an hour. Landlord had told me they all were too busy to come, and it could take up to a week before they MIGHT be able to come. The landing, hall and stairs leading to the apartment (there are only two) are in a constant state of grottiness, the promise of painting the area has yet to be realised, after a year and a half, one could go on and on and on. The solution? Anyone seeking to rent a clean, mice free apartment?!!!

My stove, in an overall lovely apartment in a small US city, has no fan above the stove either yet the grease is minimal. If you cook a lot of fatty foods, common in Ireland and England, there will be lots of grease. I cook everyday and about once a week easily wipe away the little grease that accumulates. ... But even in the poorest neighborhoods in my American city there will be functioning utilities, reliable trash collecting, and good working heat. And the landlord will have the apartment cleaned before showing to any potential new tenant. So it's understandable that this young person expected this level of attention in a rental.

Why assume Stevestar has ever been to Ireland. Pretty sure he is from Pittsburgh. At least his sentence structure and punctuation reflect a cross between American East Coast and American Midwest.

It has been my experience that clean, move-in flats correspond directly to the amount of rent you are paying.

Be sure to stick your hand down the back of the couch. There is probably the price of a pint or two there. Check under the mattress of the bed too. :)

I don't comment on these sort of articles but was intrigued by this woman's story. She wrote in a previous article she googled 'Best Colleges in Ireland' and Trinity popped up and she applied and easily got in. I went to law school in the UK so have no agenda to defend Irish universities but what a load of tosh. No Irish university accepts without ensuring her grades met their requirements and she could pay the tuition. Trinity is good for law and a few other things and mediocre in other areas. She doesn't say what course she studied. Getting in to study liberal arts at Trinity is far easier than law. Other Irish universities are better for other fields. I hope future articles will be more specific and less painted with a broad brush at an American audience.

one of the key lessons involved in growing up is that it takes a lot of your own effort to have and maintain a nice place to live. Welcome to the dawning of a clue...
