Dublin rent: The average salary you need for a three bedroom home in every postcode

Rents in Dublin have skyrocketed to a record high as the average property costs €2,170 a month.

A stark new report by Daft.ie showed a sharp increase in rent in the second quarter of the year. Additionally, Ireland has the lowest number of properties to rent since the same report began 15 years ago.

There were just over 700 homes available to rent in Ireland on August 1 which is down from nearly 2,500 last year. There are less than 300 homes to rent in Dublin.

Additionally, it was recently revealed that notices to quit from landlords are also jumping substantially in the last 12 months. The number of notices to quit leapt countrywide to 1,781 in the second quarter of 2022 - a significant jump from 1,132 issued in Q1 this year.

We had a look at the average rents in every Dublin area on Daft.ie and calculated how much you'll need to earn if 30% of your gross salary covered rental costs for a three-bedroom house.
