You walk away from your parents’ house in the honour of your autonomy. Little did you know when you met your landlord that it was a devil and the deep sea story.
‘Rules’ never seem to leave our lives no matter how far we go away from home since it’s so uncommon for people to mind their own business. And some landlords take their title so seriously that they hand you a manual of guidelines with that menacing look, of course. The weirdest ones are listed below.
1. Somebody on Twitter shared how a flat only allowed Jain and Agarwal tenants. Uhm, casteism is a thing of the past, right?
And this is how my another day in searching for a flat went into vain. #जातिवाद_जिंदाबाद pic.twitter.com/2BXQ66OXwQ

2. No two genders can live together. Not even if you’re siblings. ‘Cos what if you’re a Game of Thrones fan?
Sir, most landlords don't allow two people living together again even if there are siblings

3. Sir, are you renting a flat or a jail?
In my case, I got a house where landlord said he wants only single female. And my family can’t come and visit me. So most times, you’d be alone. I have to take permission for friends coming to visit me. And they are not allowed to stay over. Cos we will be using plenty water.

9. Tyrant alert.
Back in 2008, my landlord said we could only have one spoon, 1 pillow, one bed, and they should not open the gate after 5pm. I was in secondary school then. That was tyranny 😂😂😂
