“That’s actually anti-human moment. Either ok with paying a lot of money or compromise for what’s there,” another replied.

The Karnataka capital has been witnessing incidents wherein landlords have asked potential tenants to provide their LinkedIn profiles, asking for their qualification and even the college that they passed out from. One such landlord rejected a man because of his Class 12 exam marks. However, the occasional landlord in Bengaluru has also pleasantly surprised tenants with unexpected funding for their start-ups and sweets.
