- A Bengaluru woman shared her struggle in the city's competitive rental market
- She lost a nearly finalised fully furnished 1BHK after agreeing to landlord terms
- Landlord rented the house to someone else after she delayed deposit payment by one hour
A woman in Bengaluru has highlighted the challenges of the city's competitive rental market after losing a house she had almost finalised. The woman, who uses the username @namma_rants on Instagram, shared a video describing her experience. In the video, she explained that she had recently moved to Bengaluru and had been actively looking for a house. She said that she realised losing a potential home felt more painful than losing someone from her life.
She explained that she had been searching for a fully furnished 1BHK for about a month. According to her, after a long time, she found a home she liked, but she had to compromise on many things, while the rent remained the same.
The woman said that she had agreed to almost all of the landlord's conditions and asked for only about an hour to finalise the deal. However, when she called about an hour later to say she was ready to pay the deposit, she was informed that the house had been rented to someone else.
She explained that although she had seen the house only a short time ago, the landlord said that someone else had already paid the deposit and taken it.
