In a bizarre incident in Bengaluru, a house owner has rejected a potential tenant for scoring only 75% in his school. The tenant, named Yogesh, had recently returned from Canada and was looking for a place to stay for six months while he worked in the city. The house owner, who was seeking a tenant with 90% or above school scores, denied Yogesh’s application to rent his house, which was priced at a staggering INR 80,000 per month.
The incident came to light after a tweet by a user, which has since gone viral. People are now laughing at the absurdity of the house owner’s choosiness while also expressing alarm over the exorbitant rent prices in the city. According to the tweet, Yogesh’s cousin, Shubh, said, “I can’t believe my cousin brother got denied for a rented flat by the owner cause he got 76% in class 12th & the owner was expecting at least 90% 😭😭😭”
The incident has sparked outrage on social media, with many people criticizing the house owner’s discriminatory behavior. Some have even called for action to be taken against such practices in the housing market.
This incident highlights the growing problem of high rent prices in Bengaluru, where people are forced to pay exorbitant amounts to secure housing. It also exposes the discrimination faced by tenants who do not meet the arbitrary criteria set by some house owners.
