If you are looking to buy a flat in the metro cities, then get ready to pay EMIs for the next 100 years! That’s because rent is skyrocketing to another level. Well, this wasn’t enough that now the flat owners are asking for the LinkedIn profiles of the tenants. Are you looking for a place to live or a company to work at? This Twitter user shares his unusual house-hunting experience at the IT hub of India, Bengaluru.

He further shared another tweet that showed a WhatsApp chat with another person. And this one was actually asking Goutham to write a blurb about himself! Is it a job interview or what? It seems like if you want to stay in Bengaluru, having a degree from a reputed college, excellent writing skills and a professional LinkedIn profile are a must!
House Hunting In Bengaluru
The Silicon Valley of India is not a renter-friendly place after all. The landlords have strict rules, unusual demands and whatnot. Some of them only want IT professionals and others are not okay with that. And asking the tenants to write a blurb gives off a corporate vibe. Isn’t it better to stay in a hostel then? And not to mention an unreasonable hike in the rent just for a 1BHK. Just like Goutham was told that for a 2BHK the rent was ₹75,000.
