The rental crisis has caused controversy in the capital once again as a small cupboard is being advertised to rent as a room - for €610 a month.

An advertisement for the space which can't even fit a full size person appeared on Rent.ie and is available in a property on Chelmsford Road in Dublin 6.

The room is so small that the bed can only fit in and a small wooden shelf just above the bed, RSVP Live reports.

There is just enough space for a tiny wardrobe and a small shelf.

In the description on the website it said, “1 person currently occupies the flat.

Looking for females only.

(Flat is not owner occupied)

Couples not allowed.”

When people spotted this on Twitter they were furious and one user said, “Sorry my storage cupboard is bigger than that. Shocking!!!”

“How is this acceptable? You’d wonder why there is no regulations set up or are they all just in each other’s pockets. This is horrendous,” someone else said.

“Looks like the cupboard under the stairs from Harry Potter,” another person noticed.

This isn’t the only room that has people talking about as there was a single bed in a kitchen advertised for rent in Stoneybatter for €800 per month.

Property has become very space in Dublin at the moment and people have been queueing for 36 hours to view some Dublin homes.

Nationally prices for houses has increased by 12.3% last year.
