      Our house is in Chembur. My uncle recently put his house in navi mumbai out to rent to a guy who stopped paying rent 2 months in and now has been occupying the space for 6 months and there’s nothing my uncle can do. 🤷🏽‍♂️

      Nope. Court cases go on forever. Police can’t do anything. People are shit heads. Only thing I’ve seen worked is personally throwing the person’s stuff out of the house which someone I know did.

      I live in Bandra which is as close to the west as you get in demographic terms and even here my landlord collected 14 months of rent cheques from me

      Maharashtra seems particularly bad, though my family elsewhere us also hyper cautious about renting out. First choice after trusted family is bank employees expecting frequent transfers.

          North is also really horrible. Stories of people losing houses, property registry being changed at gunpoint etc. south is a bit better apparently

          Yeah, that difference has been very clear in my family chronicles as well, since they’re scattered north-south
