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.

Ah I recall that kinda shit from back when I was there. So still no change in tenancy laws to prevent squatting huh.

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

I’m from Bihar and you’ve been in Jharkhand. That place is still a o emblematic of what Malthusian conditions look like that i get viscerally annoyed when Americans complain about trivial shit like the end is upon them

It was all Bihar when I was growing up there, but Jamshedpur is not perhaps a good sample
Still I traveled enough in bengal/bihar/jharkhand to get a sense of how lucky I was to be in Jamshedpur1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

Yeah that’s what I mean. Based on your posts Jamshedpur sounded like some oasis in what can only be considered hell on the earth. (Sorry I get heated every time I think about or go to Bihar)

Yeah. It was an oasis under siege. Ranchi, Patna, the mining regions... all Wild West by comparison.
