^^ No No...primary reason is nuisance created by bachelors, stuff like drinking and coming late and playing loud music / TV at late night, unnecessary fights with watchmen etc, something bringing their female friends over etc etc.
 
Well, there are two main points we need to discuss here.

1. Bachelors (Male/Girl/Together) creates trouble --- is it? And same Male/Girl after getting married becomes sensible/doesnt create any trouble. (Magic Of Marriage :bleh:?) -- Is it?

Open for discussion.
2. Can housing society really impose such bans against will of house owner?

Well we need a legal opinion here.

Ok, this is the usual story but your first post indicates that ONLY NOW it has become a problem. ONLY NOW these housing associations are beginning to react. I can't find anything in the news btw that indicates this is a recent trend.

Easy, sue the owner. That is the whole housing association acting against one guy on grounds of general nuisance. Will take some time to get through but odds are not good in this case.
 
^^ yes it may be an old trend but these societies have just recently imposed this ban and yes this is no where in papers. Just that this news cropped up on my company's internal bullieten board and people starting saying that their societies have started implemented this thing.
 
Ya, quite a few societies in my area (Shivajinagar) have this unwritten rule.

But these rules were originally for foreigners (iranians, africans, etc) who come in Pune for education and then after a few months, they start coming in very late, bringing in female friends, having insanely loud parties, and even challenging some residents when questioned about their behaviour.

In our area, one set of bachelors from Nigeria was arrested for drugs and now all the bachelors are shunned. Sad, but true :(.

Get Married, Simple:P

I wish! :(

We faced the very same issue whilst hunting for a new accommodation sometime during May, last year until we came across a 1BHK flat. In fact a group of 5 friends of mine even moved to a row-house, almost settled down the same day evening after having boiled the milk and blah, but the neighbours created a fuss by forming a gathering in front of their house. This forced the association to ask them to move out. The owner pleaded helplessness.

LOL going by the events that happened to Lord Nemesis and his friend, I guess the housing societies did a right thing! :lol:
 
I'm no lawyer, but I feel the legal route is not going to help. If the owner doesn't want to rent his place to you, he's not breaking any laws as far as i can see. What can you or the law do about it?
 
Evry day Indian mindset is going 1 day backward ! When Owners childrens of 15 yrs age these days make out in school hideouts and they are shunning ful grown elders because of bringing female friends ! Truly urs INDIA :D...never thought in Pune which is supposedly housing more younder crowd then even Bangalore ppl can think like that !

I have seen where parents are over conservative their kids turn out to be most promiscous !
 
The thing is that renting out to bachelors is treated as a risk by many people. You never know what they end up like after they move in. Even how the house is maintained is a factor. With a married couple, there is at least some hope that each keeps the other in check and that the house is treated properly.

Even at the current place I reside, the land lord (aunty) rented the rooms to me after asking that I don't drink or smoke. I have been here for 4 years and the aunty does not want me to leave because she considers me to be a good tenant and its real hard to find good tenants among bachelors. I too don't want to leave the house because its hard to find better accommodation and more importantly good land lords who won't evict you at a random time. On the other hand, there are another set of rooms that aunty rents out and I have seen the tenants changing about a couple dozen times during the time I have been here. Most of the times aunty asked them to leave for various reasons like not being prompt with payments, being noisy at night, drinking/smoking and on one occasion bringing in a female friend. The act of bringing in a female friend can be for a perfectly innocent reason, but when you try to do it secretly or act suspiciously that's never a good thing. India is not still at a stage its fine to bring in a person of an opp gender to your room and close the door.
 
you can get through if you offer to produce more info about yourself.

try to convince that you are from good back ground.

try to get NOC from police from your previous area (this is becoming a requirement now)

adultery(illegal i mean :P), drugs and other illegal activities(main concern being terrorism now) are more likely to be existing with a bachelor than a married person and that is why housing societies avoid bachelors... but as told, you need to find a way to convince the landlord that you are somber :)

Sounds like you're in some sort of PG setup.

The landlord lives in the same house so she wants it kept prim & proper.

Tho OP was talking about rented apts, where you get an apt for yourself, course it costs a great a deal more than a PG but then you get more freedom or not as indicated in OP's first post.

Ah much clearer now. Evidently HR must have noticed a bunch of ppl got suddenly turfed out.

Nah buddy. HR does not come into picture here. With bullietin board i mean we have an internal blog / threads / posts type system where employees can post stuff. If you hav a friend in outfosys you can ask what is BB.
 
Not much that can be done actually. However with the specific kind of crowd, there will be specific arrangements. For eg: in the BPO belt near Malad in Mumbai you get a host of studio apartments which have been built. This complements the requirement perfectly.

With a similar case in Pune, its just a matter of time I would say.
 
I fully support the move to keep bachelors out of housing societies. I wish their houses could be isolated in a walled part of the city or in a huge asylum of some sort.

My observations in Bangalore (as an owner having had bachelors tenants, lived with bachelors roommates, having visited houses of bachelor friends. Most of these dudes were engineers from decent colleges/schools, earning well, middle class background, working in reputed IT companies).

Most bachelors are domestic retards. They have no idea on how to take care of themselves or keep their dwelling clean. They would probably sleep in their own shit if possible. As a owner, it pains to see ones house maintained like a sty. Reasons for this arent clear, but probably because they spent their teenage lives in a cram school (in Hyderabad/Kota) or because their parent were also morons (moron parents tend to create moron kids). They should have been learning social skills instead.

A few bachelors are nice, just that they are a extremely small minority. As a house owner looking to rent his place, its too much trouble to investigate if a potential bachelor tenant is in this minority. A safe way is to keep these turds out altogether.

On a more disturbing note, these turds are now getting married. Im seeing newly wed couples also continuing the dirty lifestyle. Earlier, the wife had no other work than to cleanup, after the husband goes around creating a mess in the house. With working women this is not possible. Dirty bachelors. Few years later - dirty couples.
 
@NinByChoice

I actually tend to agree with most of the things you have said. I have been living with roomies for almost 5 years now but thankfully we are really not that messy and keep our home clean almost all the times. But yes i have visited few bachelor homes and yes they keep it filthy all the time. The only time they do some cleaning is when they are looking out for a new room mate and he is going to come to see the house.
 
@Raghu or Ninbychoice or whatever the fk your name is, Keep "Hyderabad" out of it. There are as many techies from Bengalooru or whatever place as are from Hyderabad so keep your posts clean. Fking racists and then we expect foreigners to treat us as equals, sheesh.
