Hi,

Any opinions on renting an apartment in the Rathmines Square apartment complex?

From what I can gather they are all owned by a developer and rented out, so no owner occupiers.

There is a thread on Boards from 2012 with complaints about the management company; not fixing things, communal areas only being cleaned occasionally and rubbish area always full. There were also a number of burglaries as well, although no mention of how they got in considering they are all non-ground floor apartments.

There is also a Facebook page with complaints about the gas bills (they have a communal gas supply which is overseen by the management company) being very different between identical sized apartments with similar usage and that there is no measurement of usage on the bill. These are from 2011, there's not much recent activity apart from someone complaining about terrestrial TV signal.

I've contacted the estate agent ahead of the viewing asking for more details about the communal gas system. I've heard of these before, apparently one such implementation is a flow meter on each apartment which measure how much hot water you use. The main disadvantage is your locked into whatever price the management company wants to charge but apparently greater efficiencies can be achieved through scale and the system may also be complimented with solar panels in the apartment complex.

Any thoughts on (a) the complex itself and (b) communal gas / heating systems would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Daniel
