I’ve started to look for a place to live in Maynooth. Last night, I got a call from a potential landlady I had emailed, and caught a cab out to check it out.

I had a look around the house, and was curious as to why the doors on one side of the house had been bricked up and plastered over. I was told that, what I had previously had thought was a room I could convert into an office, had actually been converted into a separate unit.

I didn’t like the sound of this, due to the weird relationship between the two groups of tenants. We would be less than fellow tenants, but a bit more than neighbours, as there would be shared resources that I didn’t expect to be shared in the lease. There was also more of a potential problem with noise pollution… I didn’t want to be worried about turning my music up or treading on eggshells on all the time.

Uncomfortable about this, I asked about the tenant of the other unit:

He’s a Polish guy. But don’t worry! He has a job.

O…kay.
