Letting in Dublin City Centre
We are a Dublin agency with our people in the city, so Dublin City Centre is a short drive rather than a line in somebody's portfolio. We can be at the property this week, and when something goes wrong there is someone to send.
Renting in Dublin city centre
The city centre is a different market to the suburbs, and it should be approached differently.
The stock is overwhelmingly apartments: docklands and IFSC blocks, converted period buildings around the Georgian core and the north inner city, and newer build-to-rent schemes. One and two-beds dominate. Tenants are largely professionals, frequently on fixed contracts, and often international — which means a higher standard of finish is expected and references need checking properly rather than taken on trust.
It is also the most expensive market in the country. Daft.ie’s Q1 2026 rental report put average open-market rents in Dublin city centre at around €2,828 a month, against roughly €2,440 for the north city. Those are asking rents for newly advertised properties, not what existing tenancies are paying — in a Rent Pressure Zone the gap between the two is often substantial.
What that means for a landlord here
Two things bite here that do not bite in the suburbs. The first is service charges and management companies: in an apartment block your net return depends on the owners’ management company as much as on the rent, and a building with underfunded sinking funds will cost you eventually.
The second is short-term letting. The rules around short-term lets in Dublin have tightened and continue to change, and the register is still pending. If you are weighing a short let against a long one, get a straight answer on where the rules actually stand before you commit.
What rents look like around here
Daft’s Q1 2026 report puts a city centre studio at about €1,546, a one-bed apartment at around €1,966 and a two-bed at roughly €2,651. Those are asking rents on newly advertised properties, so they run ahead of what sitting tenancies actually pay — a distinction that matters a great deal in a Rent Pressure Zone. And in the city centre more than anywhere, the rent is only half the picture: service charges and the state of the sinking fund decide what you keep.
