Residents in a Dublin apartment complex are considering a “rent strike” after a burst pipe caused water to leak from ceiling fixtures this morning. Two bedroom apartments can fetch a rent of up to €3,500 a month at the development. Residents told The Irish Times they were considering legal action against Aramark, the company which manages the properties, or Ires Reit, which owns the building. “The leak appears to be from a water pipe which was damaged over the weekend. Once they realised the alarm was genuine, some residents had to fight through smoke to exit the building.
