For the past one month i have been looking for a house to rent for myself. I engaged 3-4 house rental agencies to find me one good house for rent. I myself searched for many hours together on weekends or whenever i get some time. I find lot of 'Tolet' boards. And lot many such "Tolet" houses match my criteria too. Then whats the problem?!?!
Here's how it generally goes,
Owners: Bachelor or Family?
Myself: For some time, i live alone and my parents will visit me now and then.
Owners: Sorry, we only rent it to families.
Myself: See i will be living alone and my Mom will be visiting me every month for 10-15 days. Either i live alone or my mom will stay with me. Then how can you say its not a family.
Owners: The other apartment residents/secretary will not accept if you live alone & this falls into a bachelor category.
Myself: Ok. Thank you.(I mumble, WTF, you idiot!!!!)
I don't understand, whats the problem if you rent the home to a bachelor? This is the very common conversation i had in many cases. Yes, its true, may be that you may have had some bad experience with some bachelors tenants in your past. But, everyone will not be the same. To exercise caution not to commit the mistake, talk to them... inquire about the background...whats their parents...explain your expectations and even after that if you don't feel correct person then reject. Just because of the marital status rejecting a house to rent is absolutely ridiculous & meaning less. So, whats the guarantee that a family will not create any problem or issue in the apartment? I vented out my anger with many house rental guys and even with some owners as well. They don't have any explanation or argument. "We don't give it to bachelors.Period". That's it. Meaningless idiots.
I also heard one more version of story. Some owners(who doesn't live there but have a house to rent) say, "See, i don't have any problem renting to the bachelors. But the apartment secretary or some honcho of the apartment are against renting to bachelors. If they agree we don't have any problems. All that i need is the rent and the neat maintenance of the flat". Most of the apartments have senior citizens or grandpas as secretaries or apartment care takers. This is because, they are the people with no work and ready to torture people with useless rules & pointless gabs whenever you get to cross them. They are the one's who come up with stupid policies as well. And i know that i can't convince those jobless or workless or useless people.
Tolet: Only for Bachelors(2 or 3) ... This is a real loser thing. I initially wondered why these people LOVE bachelors where as other section treat them as untouchables. Later on i realized a pattern matching to all such special LOVE to wards the bachelors. Bachelors are preferred when the flat to rent has one(or many) following features,
1. Flat is in 3rd or 4th floor. And there is no lift available.
2. They have some serious water problem. Logic behind this is, bachelors dont use much of water either for cooking or washing or daily chores or cleaning etc.
3. Has a bad ventilation. Literally a den and no windows at all.
4. Pent houses.
5. It is located in some nook & corner isolated locality.
6. Having the bathrooms outside the house.
So, the demands are less from bachelors though the rent amount doesn't slash so proportionately and so they are preferred in above cases.
