Got a Spare Room in Limerick, Clare, Tipperary? TUS wants to hear from you

If you’ve got a spare room, apartment, or even a few weeks of availability in a B&B — Technological University of the Shannon (TUS) wants to hear from you.

With student accommodation urgently needed across its Midlands (Athlone) and Midwest (Limerick, Clare & Tipperary) campuses, TUS is appealing to local homeowners and landlords to consider renting space to students for the 2025/26 academic year.

And here’s the win-win: by offering a room in your home, you can earn up to €14,000 completely tax-free under the government’s Rent-a-Room Relief scheme — all while giving a student a safe and welcoming place to live during the college year.

Why Host a Student?

Students are looking for more than just four walls and a roof — they’re seeking a “home away from home.” As a host, you can provide just that. Whether it’s a self-contained unit, a room with access to kitchen and bathroom facilities, or even a seasonal let, every offer makes a difference.

What students want:

• A private room with basic amenities
• A warm, respectful living environment
• Access to Wi-Fi and shared facilities
• Reasonable rent and clear house rules
• Accommodation close to a TUS campus or with good transport links

What’s in It for You?

• Earn up to €14,000 tax-free
• Get €160–€200 per student per week (approx. 36 weeks)
• Choose between self-catering or partial board options
• Enjoy friendly company in your home
• Support a young person’s education and future

Whether you’re a homeowner with an empty nest, a landlord with available space, or someone with an out-of-season B&B — this is an opportunity to turn your space into something meaningful.

TUS Students’ Union will promote your accommodation directly to enrolled students, ensuring your offer reaches the right audience fast.
