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

Yesterday I had an electrician over from one of these handyman apps and the dude was complaining about how his last customer was a rich woman who screwed him out of 200 bucks. 200 bucks!

The lack of respect for labor of one of the things I hate most about Indian culture. Immediate deal breaker when I see people behaving badly.

Kid you not, once went to some dude’s house at like 3 am with a bunch of friends we’d been partying with. He woke up hiss maid and asked her to serve us water. I left. (This was years ago when I stayed up that late.)

The best part is when they try to gaslight you for hating your culture
