Landlord Scams
the biggest scam in bangalore is when you are leaving an apartment and the owner sends you a fraction of the security deposit claiming “damage” or something despite no evidence. I’ve lived in maybe 10 apartments and this illegal retention of deposit has happened every single time more

I don't agree, my flat , have given almost five to six times since 2008 but never deducted a single paisa and refund of deposit made within 48 hours of vacating the flat. Also never took advance for 10/12 months. Say some of the owners deduct. Also depends, how the property was maintained, if any tenant has damaged the property, owner will recover. more

I am not sure why in Bangalore they demand 10 or 11 month advance and 11 month lease. I keep my fingers crossed when I move. Also you don’t get any interest on the advance which will be 2 or 3 lakhs! more

Some of the land lords might be greedy and dishonest. But there are many cases where tenants have spoiled the houses given on rent and disowned responsibility for repair like burnt out fans, geysers, broken windowpanes, cracked wash basins and commode etc. It cannot be called a scam; both parties have to be honest and stick to the rent agreement. more
