1. Realistic prices
Single rooms in shared houses currently run €750–€1,100/month depending on the area. Double rooms and en-suites go higher. Browse Rentals on Lemown to see live prices near you.
2. Viewings
Never send a deposit before viewing in person or via a live video call. Meet the current tenants if you can — they’re the best source of ground truth.
3. Deposits and rent-a-room
Under rent-a-room relief, a homeowner can earn up to €14,000/year tax-free. Ask for a receipt for your deposit and confirm the notice period in writing.
4. Red flags
Prices well below market, refusal to view in person, requests to wire money abroad, or pressure to pay before signing anything — all classic scam signals. When in doubt, walk away.
5. Using Lemown to find a room
On Lemown Rentals you message the landlord or head-tenant directly and arrange a viewing. Everything happens in-person after that — no payments flow through Lemown.
