A Dublin landlord has rented a city centre property where tenants will be required to bed-share with their new housemante.

The accommodation on South Great George's Street appeared earlier this week on letting website Daft.ie, depicting a small room containing just enough space for a double bed.

Posting on the website, the landlord said that the rental opportunity "may require bed sharing" and was "suitable only for easy going tenants" for €250 per month.

The other half of the bed was occupied by a man in his mid twenties, but was let yesterday following much interest from members of the public.

Diarmuid O’Sullivan from the housing charity Threshold told The Irish Post that the listing showed how desperate the capital's residents were to find a place to live.

He added: "The fact that in this particular situation someone has actually agreed to let the property and agreed to actually share a bed with a stranger underlines the severity and the extent of the problem that we’re facing."
