Can I work from home or run a business from my apartment?

Yes. Working remotely from your apartment is fine, provided you continue to use it as your home & do not disturb neighbours.

Using a laptop, taking video calls or carrying out desk-based work is different from operating a business that brings customers, staff, deliveries or safety risks into a residential building.

What is normally suitable

• Remote work for your employer.
• Freelance or desk-based work that does not change the apartment’s residential use.
• Occasional professional calls or online meetings.
• Using the building’s co-working space, subject to its rules.

When to ask us first

• You want regular customers or clients visiting the property.
• You need extra signage, stock storage or specialised equipment.
• Your activity creates noise, increased footfall or unusual deliveries.
• A licence, permission or change to the property may be required.

Irish tenancy rules also restrict using a rented home for commercial purposes without appropriate permission. If you are unsure whether your plans fit, send us a description before starting.

All five build-to-rent developments also provide co-working space for residents.
