A man recently failed a tenant interview in Bengaluru for an unusual reason. He was rejected because he was a software engineer.

The landlord reportedly did not want to rent his property to a software engineer, as he believed they worked long hours and would not be able to maintain the property.

The incident sparked a conversation online about tenant rights and discrimination in India.
