Tenants find it difficult to find a place to live in large cities like Bengaluru and Mumbai. The procedure is fraught with difficulties, ranging from brokers making exaggerated claims to landlords requiring background checks and corporate HR interviews. For tenants, finding a decent rental property in these busy cities has always been a difficult task. On the other hand, a Mumbai resident recently amused a lot of people on social media by posting a snapshot of a hilarious chat exchange she had with her real estate broker, who was helping her find a home. Since then, this humorous exchange has gone viral and made many chuckle online.

The screenshot shows social media user Subi expressing her concern about the property’s proximity to a railroad track. She brings up a legitimate worry regarding possible noise disruptions brought on by this close proximity. Her real estate broker responded in relatively broken English, which brought a humorous touch that made many platform users laugh.

Subi responded, “The location is near railway tracks; I hope there is no train noise problem.” Though comforting, the broker’s response is notable for its startling simplicity: “Yeh mam, do not tension (take tension), ok,” then “I’m here.”
