Dublin residents are being encouraged to rent out their spare rooms as student digs in an effort to tackle Dublin's accommodation crisis.
A new campaign by UCD and Trinity Students' Union, along with Daft.ie, is highlighting the fact that landlords who rent out a room can earn up to €12,000 a year, tax free.
TCD Students' Union President Kieran McNulty says it can be a positive experience for both landlord and tenant.
"Accommodation is quite restricted in Dublin, there's a lot of scrambling for beds, and it's really just about saying: 'Look, if you have a spare room, there's students here who would be more than happy to take them', and we've seen really positive experiences in the past," he said.
