Terms

These terms describe what Rental Hunter does on your behalf, what you remain responsible for and the limits of the service. They are written from what the software actually does. They are not legal advice.

What the service is

Rental Hunter monitors new rental listings on Daft.ie against criteria you configure. When a listing meets every criterion you set, it submits an enquiry on your behalf, notifies you through your own Telegram bot and records the attempt in your dashboard.

Who runs Rental Hunter, and how to reach us

Rental Hunter is an independent tool, built and run by its founder, Riccardo. For anything to do with these terms, your account, or the way your data is handled, write to info@rentalhunter.ie. That address reaches the person who runs the service.

Independence from Daft.ie

Rental Hunter is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with Daft.ie, and it does not speak for them. Your use of your Daft.ie account remains subject to whatever terms Daft.ie sets for it, and you are responsible for ensuring your use of this tool is compatible with them.

It acts as you, with credentials you supply

Applications are sent from your own Daft.ie account, using the message you wrote and the details you entered. To do this, the service needs the credentials you supply and stores them as described on the privacy page. An application sent by Rental Hunter is, for every practical purpose, an application sent by you: recipients see your name, your phone number and your message.

You are responsible for the accuracy and the content of what you enter, including your message template and your applicant details, and for any commitment an application creates.

You define the rules, and you can stop it

The service only ever acts within the criteria you configure. You can change any criterion at any time, and you can pause the search entirely from your settings. Pausing stops all activity until you resume. Nothing is submitted while the search is paused.

Accounts

You need an account to use the service. Keep your credentials to yourself, and do not share your account. Each account holds a single active search configuration. You can delete your account from the dashboard at any time.

What is not promised

• Rental Hunter does not guarantee that any application will be delivered, seen, answered or successful.
• It depends on Daft.ie remaining reachable and behaving as it does today. If that changes, detection or submission can fail.
• A failed application is retried a limited number of times. If it still cannot be completed, the attempt is recorded with its status and reason rather than retried indefinitely.
• The service is provided as it is, without warranty, and may be interrupted for maintenance or changed over time.

Who is responsible for what

This matters more here than it would for most software, because the service acts using credentials you supply and sends applications in your name. So it is worth being plain about where the line sits.

You are responsible for what you configure and for what goes out under your name: your criteria, your message, your applicant details, the accuracy of all of it, and anything you commit to as a result. You are also responsible for keeping your own accounts in good standing, and for making sure that using a tool like this one is compatible with the terms of the platforms you connect it to.

Rental Hunter is responsible for doing what this page says it does: acting only within the criteria you set, sending only what you wrote, stopping when you pause it, and recording what it did. It is not responsible for whether you get a property, for how a landlord or agent responds, for anything that happens between you and them afterwards, or for a listing platform changing, blocking access, or going down.

As far as the law allows, the service is not liable for indirect or knock-on losses: a property you did not get, a deposit, moving or storage costs, rent paid somewhere else, or time spent. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death, personal injury, or fraud.

Acceptable use

Use the service to search for a rental home for yourself. Do not use it to send misleading information, to apply on behalf of someone who has not asked you to, or to attempt to overwhelm any listing platform.

Ending your use

You can stop at any time by pausing your search or deleting your account. Access may be withdrawn if the service is used in a way that breaks these terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of Ireland, and the Irish courts have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them. If you are a consumer, this does not remove any protection you have under the law of the country you live in.

Changes to these terms

If what the service does changes, these terms are updated with it. The date at the top is the date of the most recent revision.
