Since being shared a day ago, the post has gathered close to 880 likes. The share has further accumulated several comments from people.“Never got my head around this mindset. As long as the house gets returned as it is, why the commotion? Folks in India hardly do Project X kinda parties anyway. Thankfully though, I was always blessed with like-minded landlords in BLR,” wrote a Twitter user. “Same story everywhere… I remember an owner who was like ‘Whenever any guest comes to your house, you have to first inform me’. I re-confirmed if I heard him correctly asking every time… he said yes… I politely said ‘bhaiya Ghar chahiye, jail nahi’,” commented another. “How can someone expect complete strangers to follow the lifestyles dictated them just because the latter have rented their house for which they would be paying the former, of course,” questions a third. “This is a story of every city and every single girl. My heart goes out to each one of them,” posted a fourth.
