Who is renting your home? Co Kildare couple shocked to find quiet family home used for brothel services

A Naas couple were shocked to find their family home was leased out to a woman who operated it as a brothel service. The couple, who wish to remain anonymous, live and work in the UK but retain their family home in a quiet estate in Naas, where they return regularly with their children.

“We rent the house out occasionally through Airbnb and have never had any issues with guests. This woman, who had poor English, confirmed her booking but after only a day in the house, neighbours rang me to say there were cars coming and going at an incredible rate.

“This was a late booking via Airbnb; I should have been suspicious when she didn’t bargain or ask for a discount as people usually do!”

Ironically, it was a previous story on KildareNow that prompted a neighbour to ask if the house was possibly running prostitute services.

“Usually, people who confirm a booking would say they are coming home for a family celebration or to be near an event. When she agreed to the price on the spot, I should have been wary.

“I contacted Airbnb immediately and they advised me to ring the Gardai. I rang the woman renting the house and she admitted straight away she was providing prostitute services! I was disgusted, this is our family home, where we bring our children home to.”

Gardaí from Naas Garda Station called to the house and ordered the woman to be gone by the following morning. They confirmed they had called to the house and “the incident is under investigation”.

“We are always very happy with Airbnb” said the home owner “But please, if like us, you rent out a property, ask more questions at booking time and be wary lest you should have an experience like ours!” The Naas woman added she was shocked when she checked the internet for brothel services in Leinster and came across www.brothelnaas.com
