Ah, this talk of security deposits and guarantors — it reminds me of when my daughter was hunting for her first flat in Bengaluru. I told her, like I tell everyone, "Judge the landlord by how they treat the watchman, not the building." I have seen too many tenants lose their deposit over a chipped tile that was there before they arrived. Better to take photos on the day you get the key, and if the leak in the terrace tank never gets fixed? You calculate: is the rent worth the fight, or is it time to walk? The market has a way of punishing landlords who forget that a home is also a place to rest.
