Bengaluru woman rants about sky-rocketing rents, hefty deposits — ‘Not everybody works in IT, not earning in lakhs’
One frustrated Bengaluru resident said she drops a harsh reality bomb — “Not everyone works in IT, and not everyone is making lakhs.”
Bengaluru, a hub for start-ups and tech, is also notorious for its exorbitant rent prices. Landlords often expect tenants to be IT professionals or earn significant salaries, disregarding those in other industries. A frustrated resident shared her rant, stating, "Not everyone works in IT, and not everyone is making lakhs." The Instagram post went viral, emphasizing that owners need to comprehend that not all residents in the city share the same profession or income.
The content creator urged landlords to consider non-tech individuals and their lower salaries when determining rent prices. She highlighted the increasing difficulty of surviving in Bengaluru due to rising rents and security deposits. Another user commented that not all tech professionals earn lakhs, while some users agreed that social media users agreed with the post.
