'Bengaluru landlords are a menace': Landlord deducts Rs 82K from deposit with no proof, tenant left stunned
A Bengaluru-based entrepreneur recently took to LinkedIn to narrate an upsetting experience involving his landlord, triggering a wave of responses from others who had faced similar issues across Indian cities. The businessman, who had recently relocated from his previous residence, shared how his security deposit of Rs 1.5 lakh was returned only in part—with more than half being withheld under unclear to his detailed account, he had occupied a two-bedroom apartment for two years. Throughout his tenancy, he never had any direct contact with the landlord. All interactions were conducted through a building manager, who acted as the middleman. The entrepreneur recalled having heard rumors about the landlord's past behavior with former tenants. Although this had mentally prepared him for possible issues, the scale and nature of the deductions still caught him off it was time to vacate, the deductions began pouring in. A sum of Rs 55,000 was taken out for repainting, Rs 25,000 labeled under ambiguous 'miscellaneous damages,' and an additional Rs 2,000 charged merely for using the lift. The tenant asked for detailed bills to understand the charges, only to be handed an unprofessional, handwritten sheet listing vague reasons without supporting documents or the end, he received Rs 68,000 back—barely 45% of the initial deposit. Reflecting on the situation, the entrepreneur acknowledged his own lapse in not investigating the landlord's history or setting clear contractual terms beforehand. However, he emphasized that the broader issue lies in the unregulated and often exploitative behavior of property owners in the city."I hope there's change. I hope there's help. And I hope this reaches the people who can do something about Bengaluru landlords are becoming a menace..." he post concluded with a plea for change, expressing frustration at the growing difficulties tenants face in Bengaluru and hoping that greater awareness might eventually prompt reforms in the rental space.

UAE hires more women than ever before, posts record jump in Global Gender Equality ranking
UAE ranks sixth in Asian Women's Club rankings The UAE has emerged as a global leader in closing the gender gap, with a sharp rise in women's participation in top leadership roles, according to the World Economic Forum 's Global Gender Gap Report 2025. The Emirates climbed five spots in the global ranking, from 74th to 69th, and retained its position as the top-performing country in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This rise in gender parity is supported by LinkedIn's Economic Graph data, which shows that women's hiring into leadership roles in the UAE increased by 4.5% year-on-year, defying a global decline seen over the past year. Worldwide, the trend has reversed some of the progress made between 2015 and 2021, but the UAE is bucking the trend. UAE Among Fastest Movers Globally The report places the UAE in the 'fastest-moving' group of nations, alongside: Bangladesh Chile Ecuador Ethiopia Nicaragua Mexico Saudi Arabia These countries have demonstrated the most progress in narrowing the gender gap across economic, educational, health, and political indicators. The UAE's gender parity score is now 0.724, ahead of all other MENA countries. It is followed by: Israel Bahrain Jordan Tunisia Kuwait Saudi Arabia Oman Lebanon Morocco Egypt Algeria Iran Sudan The Political Empowerment sub-index also saw significant improvement for the UAE. With a political parity score of 37.2%, the country now ranks 32nd globally. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video] getfittoday Undo The WEF report notes that the UAE, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Rwanda have achieved full parity in parliamentary representation, with Oman being the only country this year without any women in its national parliament. Women in UAE: More Diverse, Skilled, and AI-Ready Data from LinkedIn's Economic Graph, also featured in the report, offers more insights into what's driving the UAE's strong gender performance: Women in the UAE are up to 28% more likely than men to have multidomain professional experience, giving them a wider range of skills and greater adaptability for future jobs. They are also more likely to possess human-centric skills, such as communication, collaboration, and creativity, that AI and automation cannot replicate. Female professionals in the UAE are slightly more likely than men to focus on learning new skills and report greater confidence in using AI, based on LinkedIn's survey data from early 2025. This suggests that UAE women are not only rising in leadership roles but also preparing effectively for the evolving demands of the AI-driven economy. Long-Term Gains and Global Standing Over the 19 editions of the Global Gender Gap Report, the UAE has been one of the biggest improvers globally, alongside: Iceland Bangladesh Chile Ecuador Mexico In contrast, countries such as North Macedonia, Iran, Sweden, Kazakhstan, and Lesotho have seen the lowest overall gains in gender parity over time.
