Some tenants say it is easier to pass IIT's entrance test than to get a house for rent in Bengaluru considering the high demands and expectations of landlords.
A man on LinkedIn shared a similar incident in which he was rejected. On LinkedIn, another expert shared how he was denied a house for rent because of a lower percentage in Class twelfth.

While sharing the WhatsApp conversation screenshot on LinkedIn, the user captioned it, "You need Class 12th marks not only for your MBA but also to rent a flat. Peak Bangalore moment." The screenshot further uncovers that in addition to the fact that the owner requested the marksheet to rent the house, but also the link to the LinkedIn and Twitter profiles, and a little note introducing themselves.
