'A Harry Potter Cupboard' Bedroom Is Available To Rent And It's 600 Euro A Month

Rent prices in Dublin are at an all-time high and finding somewhere that's a normal size and doesn't require criminal activity to pay your rent is next to impossible.

Now, to add insult to injury, a tiny cupboard style room is available to rent in Chelmsford Road, Dublin 6. The 'bedroom', which appeared on Rent.ie, is stuffed with a single bed, a shelf, no window and a storage unit.

While you might be grateful for the room if you're stuck for a night, the €610 price tag is beyond ridiculous even if a claustrophobic space is something you'd be into. The room is part of a flat where one other person lives.

With nearly 400 retweets and 1,300 likes, Twitter comments on the bedroom have been rampant and it's terrifying to think what was once a joke is now a reality:

Twitter has become a wasteland of terrifying Dublin rentals in recent years. One user posted this €460 a month rental to share a bunk bed:

As people are joining mammoth queues to view apartments and rents are already up 15% on last year, it's time for the madness to end. Since going viral the box room ad has been removed from Rent.ie.
