Bangalore landlords are the real HR
Spent my entire Sunday morning giving an interview for a 2BHK and it was harder than my last technical round.. The uncle reviewed my payslips nodded, and then deadass asked to see my food delivery app history to verify if I order non veg late at night. He even asked if my current project has a high attrition rate because he only wants tenants with stable work dynamics. I swear next time I go house hunting I am just taking my manager along to give a character certificate.

To get previous tenants flat and landlord reviews: I'm building https://know.place Very initial version right now, but do add your own experiences which could help others save time, effort and money

Hey, nice one !

Much needed bruh rn at least in Bengaluru. Make it large !!

The food delivery app check is BS... Utter nonsense. But the stable work is reasonable. Why? Because even if the house was painted just 2 months ago. The next tenant will demand the whole house to be repainted. One might say what's wrong when the owners deduct money from advance. When the person vacates within a couple of months. The tenants demand pro rata basis deduction.
The whole system is a feedback loop. Unreasonable demands from tenants are driving the nonsensical behaviour from owners, which in turn is driving the nawabi behaviour of tenants.

We have rented our flat in Whitefield for 20k from year 2012 with 0 rs increment 😇

When they start asking for payslips we should simply refuse and look for another flat. If everyone starts refusing they will stop asking.

Bwahah too bad he doesn't know of the cal grills yet .. bwahaha

Hope it was an Independent house.
Glad, he didn't restricted Non Veg, and he want to sleep peacefully at night without the delivery guy entering the premises, that may be a security concern for him as well.
Independent houses have their TCs, have to face them.

Yeah it was an independent house. Fair point on the security aspect, the app check just caught me totally off guard lol.

Then there are people who just boasts payinh rent is better than owning, so now whats your take on owning/renting? Dont worry its not just in Bangalore it will soon apread to other states also
