Yes, all residents are expected to adhere to the EazyCity Housing Rules, Cleaning and Maintenance Guidelines, and Sustainable Living principles, which were provided upon your arrival. It's essential to familiarise yourself with these guidelines to ensure a great stay for all residents. You can find them detailed below.
Always respect your surroundings and fellow residents while staying at EazyCity properties.
EazyCity advocates an eco-friendly approach in all its accommodations. Here's what you need to know about our sustainability policies and waste management:
Energy Conservation:
We encourage a responsible use of resources. Be mindful of your electricity, gas, heating, and water consumption.
In Ireland, it's customary to use heating only when required. If you have personal control over your heating, ensure it's not left on unnecessarily to avoid energy wastage.
Waste Management:
Your rent covers waste collection and water charges.
All tenants play a vital role in waste segregation. Ensure trash is categorized correctly into recycling, general waste, and glass.
Bins must be placed at the designated spot for collection the night before the scheduled pick-up every week. Post-collection, remember to retrieve the bins the same day. Ensure all trash goes inside the bins and not beside them.
Any accumulation of rubbish near the property will incur a €20 fine for each tenant. This is crucial as such build-up could lead to penalties from the City Council or create sanitation issues.
Adhering to these guidelines not only contributes to a better living environment but also supports our commitment to a greener planet. Let's work together to make a difference!
For those embarking on an internship journey, it's essential to understand the professional expectations and etiquette of the workplace. Here are the Rules of Conduct During the Internship to guide you towards a successful experience:
Professional Respect: Treat every employer, coworker, fellow intern, and company tutor with respect, irrespective of their gender, religion, nationality, or sexual orientation.
Punctuality: Always be on time. If you anticipate being late due to unavoidable reasons, inform your manager promptly. If delays become a pattern, consider adjusting your routine.
Workplace: Keep the shared areas tidy and clean. Ensure your workspace is clean both at the start of your day and its conclusion.
Reporting Absences: If you're unwell, contact your manager directly (a call is preferred over a message). Also, notify the company tutor.
Leaving your work area: If you need to leave your work area, inform your manager. Unexpected absences from your designated space without a valid reason are not allowed.
Language Etiquette: Avoid conversing in your native language with compatriots during work hours. It can be seen as disrespectful and potentially exclusive.
Financial Expectations: Do not request money, wages, or reimbursements unless previously agreed upon in the internship contract or if offered by the company. Honesty and integrity are paramount.
Switching or Quitting: Before considering leaving or changing your internship, discuss with EazyCity and ensure you have a valid reason acknowledged by both the company and EazyCity.
Proactive Attitude: Always be courteous and proactive. If you're uncertain about something, seek clarification. Whenever you finish assigned tasks, approach your supervisor for further instructions.
Dress Code: Adhere to the workplace's dress standards. Each place has its own dress etiquette – from casual to more formal attire.
Show Initiative: As you get accustomed to the workplace, start taking the initiative. If in doubt about any task, don't hesitate to ask or clarify. Being proactive demonstrates responsibility.
Expect the Unexpected: Understand there are great, fun, exciting days and dull, boring, I wish I were outside days. Part of learning to be efficient and adaptable to a new workplace is understanding that you are there to learn, and sometimes this means doing tasks that are not all that exciting. Completing your tasks each day for the duration of your internship is a great introduction to the work world.
Your internship is an invaluable stepping stone into the professional world. By following these guidelines, you'll make the most out of this opportunity.
Please return the keys to the designated drop-off point at your accommodation or at the EazyCity office, as instructed upon your arrival.

When a machine stops working there can be a number of issues but the main one is the filter. All washing machines have a filter normally at the bottom right hand corner of the machine and this can be clogged up with everyday items such as coins, hair clips, lint, socks etc. Advise the tenant to unscrew the filter and check if it is empty.
The machine will normally be full of water so advise the tenant to use a dish and towels to catch the excess water. Once the filter is emptied the machine should return to normal. If this does not occur or if the filter was ok to begin with a washing machine specialist will need to be called to service the machine. Contact the landlord/agency of the property with the make and model of the machine and organise this with them.
If the internet stops working the first thing to do is reset the modem. Using a pin or a pen you will find a reset button on the modem; advise the tenant to reset the modem, plug it in out and check has the service resumed. If not arrange for a call to be made to the service provider for further instructions. You will need the account number and name on the account (available in the Property Info File) to speak with an agent and they will advise you further.
Normally the service provider can alter the settings of the signal and this can help also but if not a service call will be needed to service the modem or caballing. Most providers have quick turnaround times so make the call as quick as possible to ensure a fast resolution.
There can be many reasons the heating may stop working so you will need as much information as possible. Is it not working throughout the property? Is it working in certain areas of the property and not in others? Is the property gas or electric? Once these have been answered you can proceed. If the boiler for the property is accessible ask the tenants to take a photo of the boiler and send it to you. The most common reason for a boiler breaking down can be due to low pressure – with the photo you will be able to see if pressure gauge is too low (below 1 and it will normally stop working).
The pressure of the boiler can be topped up easily but it is not recommended that a tenant does this so arrange a house call with your branch manager or property co-ordinator. If the pressure gauge looks ok the landlord will need to be called to inform them that it is not working. They will proceed to have it checked either themselves or by maintenance technician. It is advised that this is reported as soon as possible to avoid any unnecessary delays without heating in the property.
Ask the tenant where it has stopped working; the shower? sink (kitchen or bathroom)? There can be a number of reasons for the hot water not working. Firstly ensure that the hot water is switched on/meant to be on. Many showers in Ireland are electrical; this means that they must be powered on before they work. Normally there will be a cord hanging in the bathroom that must be pulled to activate the shower unit.
If the hot water comes from the boiler it may be on a timer system. Many boilers have a timer system which means that the hot water will be active during certain periods throughout the day, mainly morning and evening. Check with the Property Co-Ordinator or Branch Manager for further information. If necessary call the landlord and arrange for a service call.
Electricity power is normally divided into 2 sections – plug sockets and lights. Check with the tenants what has stopped working specifically. In all cases ask the tenants to access the electricity fuse board which is normally near the front door of the property on the wall next to the door. Ask them to send you a photo of the board. All buttons should be facing up and the most common issue is that the trip switch has blown which has pushed the switch down. The most common reason for this is a faulty appliance such as a toaster, kettle, microwave, hair dryer, phone/lap-top charger etc.
Ask the tenants to plug out all of these items and push the switch back up. (Before proceeding however, please ensure the tenant is confident and capable to do following – it is standard procedure but if the tenant is uncomfortable a staff member should look after it). If the button stays up then it was one of the plugged out items that caused to blow and this item needs to be replaced. To figure out which item it was plug each one of the plugged items in one by one and when it blows again this will tell you which item is faulty. If it is a standard item that can be replaced by us please organise this. If the fault cannot be diagnosed please call the landlord and arrange for an electrician to perform a service call.
Check whether it is a front door key or bedroom key to proceed. Ask the tenant for more information such as has the key broken in the lock? Is it just not working anymore? Ask the tenant for the key details (Basta/Union number etc.) and cross-check with the files to ensure they have the correct key. If the key has broken in the lock, particularly the front door lock, it will need to be checked and rectified as soon as possible so safety/entry reasons.
If the key has broken in the lock you should be able to remove the piece inside the lock with a tweezers. Have the lock checked by the Property Co-Ordinator or landlord to ensure it is ok or arrange to have it changed. If the bedroom lock is damaged arrange for a new lock to be sourced.
Check where the leak is coming from and try to decipher the source. Is it coming from the sink, shower, toilet etc.? What area of the house is it? Is it consistently dripping or only after a certain action such as a shower or when the washing machine is used etc.? Leaks can be quite dangerous as they cause property damage to the flooring or can affect the electricity if water hits the wiring.
If the leak is coming from specific source such as a tap, shower or toilet advise the tenants to stop using it until further notice and contact the Property Co-Ordinator, Branch Manager or landlord to have the issue checked as soon as possible.
If a tenant contacts you regarding a build-up of rubbish please confirm with them that they have presented the correct bin for collection and that they have the correct calendar/rubbish collection procedure in the property (All rubbish collection information can be found in the Property Info File).
Ask the tenant to forward you a photo of the bin area/build-up of rubbish and pass this to the Property Co-Ordinator or Branch Manager so further action can be taken in regards to an extra collection and deposit deduction if necessary.
