From dealing with skyrocketing rents to unusually high deposits from landlords, house hunting has always been a tough job for people who have to move to another city. Recently, a man in Bengaluru decided to hilariously raise awareness of this problem by making a poster mocking the outrageous demands of some landlords.
Ramyakh Jain took to social media and mentioned the difficulties in finding a place in the Indiranagar area of Bengaluru. He shared photos of the poster attached to a pole. It read: “Left kidney for sale. Need money to pay the security deposit that landlords are asking for”.

The second part of the poster clarified that it was just a joke and that the advertiser was actually looking for a rental house in Indiranagar, Bengaluru. It also included a QR code that hosts could scan to access the advertiser’s profile.
The post quickly became popular on social media. While it generated more than 1,300 comments on LinkedIn, it collected more than 82,000 views and more than 1,600 likes on Twitter.

In the comment section, one user jokingly wrote, “Should have put the ‘right’ on sale. There are very few buyers for ‘left’ in India lately,” said another, “I would 100% do this too. Must attract the right ToF, and then have to resort to marketing tactics”.
A third user commented, “Saving this one because I need it in the next few days”. A fourth wrote, “While house hunting, the landlord got offended by rejection. Because I said I’m not interested in making you rich. Instead I’ll choose Honda City and pay EMI for the long commute.” “All those kidney jokes just got real,” said the fifth.
