Woman House-Hunting In Bengaluru Gets Creepy Request From Stranger

Bengaluru is known for its thriving IT industry, educational institutions, and cultural diversity, making it a popular destination for both job seekers and students. Due to this reason, house hunting in Bengaluru is a difficult task with many challenges, such as high rents, high security deposits, and landlords who demand a lot of information from tenants, including their LinkedIn profiles, college details, and even self-written essays.

Nonetheless, these challenges are just the tip of the iceberg. A recent incident shared by a woman through a chat screenshot illustrates the additional hurdles that women encounter during their house-hunting experiences in Bengaluru.

Twitter user Akanksha Mishra posted on microblogging platform X (formerly known as Twitter) that she was contacted by a stranger who asked her if she would be interested in sharing a flat with him, even though she had already told him that she was not comfortable with male flatmates. When she refused, the man made a more explicit request, asking her if she was single and interested in sharing a place for life.

Sharing a screenshot of the tweet, she wrote, "Perks of house-hunting in Bengaluru: You get creeps for free but not the house. Desperate house-hunters in Bangalore believing in "make them an offer they can't refuse" too seriously.
