Mr. Paul Lemass:

As regards students with bad experiences, universities work through websites like Studentpad and the practice has been that if a student makes a complaint, then the university will prevent that property from being rented again. The property will be removed from the Studentpad website, or equivalent, and it will not be allowed on it again. There is some measure of control by the university to ensure that rogue landlords, if you like, are not encouraged into the system.
