Important things to know before using our tools.
Rent Ready Ireland is a free tool to help you think through rental decisions more clearly. Our calculators produce estimates, not guarantees. Nothing on this site is financial advice, legal advice, or a professional property assessment. Always do your own research and speak to a qualified professional before making major decisions.
Every output produced by our tools — including the Rental Reality Score™, Hidden Costs Calculator, and Commute vs Rent Calculator™ — is an indicative estimate only.
Results are based on:
These estimates may differ materially from your actual costs. They do not account for individual landlord pricing, current market fluctuations, specific property features, personal tax circumstances, or any other factor unique to your situation.
Do not make financial commitments based solely on these outputs.
Safety scores displayed on the Safety Score Checker™ and within the Rental Reality Score™ are derived from aggregated, publicly available CSO Ireland statistics — specifically the CJA07 dataset (Recorded Crime Incidents by Garda Station Area, 2022–2024 three-year average).
These scores represent statistical patterns at an area level, not a real-time or property-specific assessment of safety. They should be understood in context:
We strongly recommend visiting any area in person, speaking to locals, and consulting additional sources before making a decision about where to live.
Nothing on this Website constitutes financial advice. The Rental Reality Score™, affordability calculations, budget-to-income ratios, and cost breakdowns are general informational tools only.
For personalised financial guidance — including affordability assessments, budgeting for rent, or evaluating your financial position as a tenant — please consult a qualified and authorised financial adviser. In Ireland, financial advisers are regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland.
Nothing on this Website constitutes legal advice. This includes, but is not limited to, the free downloadable templates (Tenant Profile Template, Landlord Introduction Letter, Document Checklist).
These templates are provided as helpful starting points and general guides. They have not been reviewed by a solicitor and should not be used as a substitute for qualified legal guidance. For questions about your rights as a tenant, lease agreements, or disputes with landlords, please contact a qualified solicitor or the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB).
