A video of a landlord forcibly removing a man's belongings has gone viral on social media, sparking a wave of comments and discussion about landlord-tenant dynamics. The clip, shared by the X account 'Ghar Ke Kalesh', is said to have originated in Canada, where the man on the receiving end is an Indian citizen. The footage shows a short 15-second scene of the landlord moving the man's belongings while the tenant watches helplessly.
The post claims, “A desi man had an argument with his landlord because he wouldn't leave the house. Then the landlord came and started moving his stuff himself.”

Social media users have reacted in different ways, with some finding the situation humorous, while others expressed concerns about the country's reputation. One user joked: “Help move freely,” while others expressed empathy for both parties involved.
“This is not good for the country's reputation. People have to follow the rules. This is not India, where anyone can get away with such things. It damages India's global image and landowners can deny their properties to needy Indians to rent.” one person commented.
Another user shared his surprise, saying, “I just witnessed a wild scene in Brampton! A desi man and his landlord had a huge confrontation. The landlord was tired of waiting for him to leave so he decided to to bring out the man's own things. About taking matters into his own hands!”
“Did he think he was in India, where tenants can live in a rental house for years without paying rent?” a third wondered.
“The tenant may have reasons not to leave, but it is also unfair that landlords feel powerless. Unfortunately, it had to escalate to this point. I sympathize with both parties. This is a complex issue that requires greater understanding from both parties. a fourth user wrote.
