It isn’t the easiest thing to find an apartment in India. From landlords to our society, there are too many people involved, with too many expectations. It’s probably easier finding a person to marry. And, it looks like house hunting in Bengaluru is definitely a task.
A Twitter user, Astha shared a list of questions about a house in Silicon Valley. She shared a screenshot of the questionnaire – where it was mentioned that it’s part of the shortlisting process.
Apartment hunting in Bengaluru seems to be a cultural interview round these days@peakbengaluru pic.twitter.com/LTa9MJfvv3

The questionnaire included things like – eating preferences, how the ideal weekend looks like and and even the FRIENDS character a person relates too, among other questions. Honestly, it feels like a questionnaire you fill, while signing up on a dating app. At some point, I even forgot that this is part of the apartment hunting process.
A lot of people were shocked with the process. And of course, Twitterati had a lot to say.
apparently not eating fish and drinking beer made me lose a very nice apartment. 😤

There’s also a technical and do you work in a ‘startup’ or are you a ‘VC’ round.

Was a much simpler time in 2017. Only question to answer then was – Can you afford half the rent? The first one to pay half the deposit, Won. @tweet_preet 😀

While I appreciate their interest to know more, they should also know that similarity isnt everything. And hence this is rubbish

Now I wonder how complex the process would be if they were to choose a life partner!
Some were even surprised that the owner of the flat, didn’t outgrow FRIENDS. Which is understandable, because it’s 2022.
This can’t be serious? 😏 What if the respondents have no clue of Phoebe, Monica or Rachel?

Should have replied with : I prefer shows with proper comedy, not background laughs to make everything sound funny.

Why are they still doing a FRIENDS personality quiz in 2022. 😭

Who knew finding a roommate is more difficult than living with our parents?
