Bengaluru man pens his experience on Linkedin after failing 'tenant interview'

A Bengaluru man named Ripu Daman Bhadoria recently shared his experience of failing his first-ever tenant interview.

The incident has highlighted the challenges faced by tenants in the city, as landlords conduct interview-like processes during the renting process. However, Bhadoria persevered and was able to secure a rental place in the city.

In his LinkedIn post, Bhadoria described the tenant interview process as more demanding than his Google interview due to the increased demand for rental places after the COVID-19 pandemic.


He failed his first-ever “tenant interview”, but he was determined to succeed and sought transparent feedback from the landlord. The feedback he received indicated that the landlord believed he might buy a house, given his association with Google, which resulted in his profile being rejected.
However, Bhadoria eventually succeeded in another interview process and secured a rental place in Bengaluru. He humorously recounted his experience of successfully passing the landlord's interview by adopting a similar HR approach.

Having undergone an arduous rental procedure in the city, Bhadoria laughed, saying he never imagined working at Google could be that advantageous.

The LinkedIn post quickly garnered attention from users, who left witty responses in the comment section. One user requested Bhadoria create and publicly share documents related to the interview process, while another asked for a questionnaire for reference purposes.

Likewise, there have been other instances where tenants in Bengaluru have had to undergo a formal interview process before being approved by landlords. One such incident involved a resident who shared his experience of a landlord conducting an interview-like process. Not only this, the landlord requested that he provide his personal and professional details, including his LinkedIn profile, pay slips, and written descriptions.
