2. How do I join the Tenant or Roommate databases?
To join the Tenant or Roommate databases, login to My Daft and click "place advert". Then scroll down the page and click either, "Place an ad in the roommates database" or "Place an ad in the tenant database". You do not need to be verified to use these features.

3. How long does my ad stay on the site?
This depends on the type and location of the ad.

If your ad is for "Sharing" it will remain live for 7 days, if the property is located in Dublin and for 14, if it is outside Dublin (if the property is available at a future date, it will remain live for 7 or 14 days after that date).

All other ads remain live until the property is either let or sold. If you fail to renew your ad before it's expiry date, it will be deactivated and saved in your "Inactive Ads" folder in "My Daft" where it will stay for 30 days before being deleted.

4. How much does it cost to place an ad on Daft.ie?
Sharing ads are free. You can see a full list of pricing for all other ads here.
