There is no question that finding a home for rent, especially in the metropolitan areas of India, comes with many hurdles. Landlords ask about various things before deciding to rent out their homes. However, what Twitter user Goutham could not have imagined is that one such homeowner in Bengaluru would ask for his LinkedIn profile. He shared his experiences and his relatable post has caused quite a stir on Tweeple.
