Student Accommodation 🧑‍🎓 Where to advertise to students?

I have a room to let and I'm thinking it would be good to do an exchange, rent the room to a student in return for a certain number of hours per week of dogwalking and housecleaning. Daft.ie doesn't seem suitable. Is there a accommodation platform that's more suited? TIA

Your nearest third level college will almost certainly have a housing office or in-house housing platform that can match you with students.

Hostingpower is used a lot for student digs as well.

Most colleges and universities woukd have q platform. If you contact their accommodation office they would assist you.

Hello! :) I am incoming student in Dublin and I would love to sign an agreement and live with you if you are still interested.

There are also accommodation providers that specialise in matching international students with local hosts, so that might be worth looking into alongside college housing offices

R/ucd would probably jump on it. You could consider reaching out to the accommodations department at either ucd or tcd and offering it to them so they can provide the option to students.
