She declared the issue is not only about expensive rent, but also about landlords adding terms that let them enter the houtilize whenever they want.
She added that some landlords expect tenants to adjust to their own timings.
Finding a houtilize in Delhi is often seen as stressful. For one young founder, it has turned into the hardest part of her journey. The 27-year-old entrepreneur, who runs Youthocracy, shared her experience on X (formerly Twitter).
She declared that raising funds and managing a team felt clearer than attempting to find a decent place to live in the city. “The toughest thing I have faced as a woman founder in Delhi is not raising funds or managing a team. It is finding a place to live,” the first two lines of the post read.
Founder Talks About Rental Struggles
In her lengthy post, she explained that the problem is not just high rent. She declared some landlords add clautilizes in agreements that allow them to enter the flat at any time. “Rent is being raised without any notice. And the moment I notify them I am a startup founder, then follows the suspicion over character view,” she adds.
She also declared that some landlords expect tenants to follow their personal schedules. According to her, this becomes difficult for working women who have long or flexible work hours. “It is exhausting. They expect you to be home at all times, on their schedule, fitting into their idea of what a good tenant views like.”
Safety And Privacy Concerns Raised
The founder declared that unannounced visits are not just uncomfortable but also unsafe. She pointed out that living alone as a woman builds such situations more worrying.
“A landlord walking into my home unannounced is not just inconvenient- it is a violation of my fundamental rights, and as a woman living alone, it builds me feel unsafe,” she adds.
She further wrote, “I am once again in the middle of houtilize hunting in Delhi, and it is exhausting to be fighting this battle on top of everything else that comes with building a company from the ground up.”
She concludeed her post by questioning for support. “If you know of any leads- landlords who are professional, respectful, and genuinely open to working women and founders as tenants and won’t question me to sell a kidney to fund the rents- please drop them in the comments or reach out to me directly. It would mean more than I can express,” she concludes her post.
