Rental data supplied by tenants in Ireland, searchable by all
I created https://www.howmuchrent.com last Friday to help bring this kind of transparency to Ireland, allowing people to submit their rents. Would love to get any HN feedback on the idea/website.
Rental data supplied by tenants in Ireland, searchable by all launched on September 12, 2023 with 119 votes, #498 of 4,228 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.
In plain words
HowMuchRent is a searchable database of rental prices in Ireland, built on data submitted by tenants themselves. The site allows renters to contribute information about their rents and browse what others are paying across different areas. It is designed for tenants and anyone researching the Irish rental market who want to understand local pricing patterns. The key feature is crowdsourced transparency around rental costs, which are typically private information.

I would love any…
