HomeScout supports rental searches in Dublin, Cork, Galway, and Limerick. Describe your campus or a named university in your search and compare the journey from each property. An eligible institutional email does not enable rental searches in additional cities. HomeScout is a private rental search tool, not a university accommodation booking service.
Your personal Rental Agent checks every hour, 24/7, for homes matching your description and sends instant email alerts for new matches so you can apply early. Each Rental Agent watches one city while your Scout access is active. You receive an email when HomeScout finds a new matching home; an alert is not a reservation or a guarantee of availability.
Review and send is the default. You can prepare an enquiry and review it before sending. Auto Apply is optional and requires explicit opt-in, an approved active template and eligibility checks. The current cap is 5 eligible applications per day.

You can start your search with verifiable references from abroad and relevant enrolment or funding evidence. Explain your arrival date and who will live in the home.
