Suggestions How to approach landlord about pets when rental agreement says no?

0 Upvotes

My rental agreement is going to end in three months and I’ve been thinking about adopting a cat. However, my current rental agreement explicitly says that pets are not allowed.

I really like my apartment and would prefer to renew my lease rather than move. I’m willing to cat-proof the apartment at my own expense, pay for any damages caused by the cat, and even offer a pet fee or deposit if needed (how much would be reasonable?).

For context, I live in a 2BHK in Indiranagar and pay ₹36k in rent + ₹1k maintenance.

Apartment hunting is not easy, and I feel like I’ve found a decent place that I genuinely like. At the same time, I feel ready to adopt a cat, so I’m trying to figure out whether there’s a way to make this work without jeopardizing my lease renewal.

Any suggestions on how to approach the landlord?

Hi guys

I usually run at Cubbon Park, but I cannot travel there every time I want to run. I do not feel safe enough to run on roads due to very efficient drivers. Where do people usually run around Sadaramangala or Whitefield?

Citizen's Report 45 minutes to cross AET Junction on Sarjapur Road!

Post image
• Upvotes

After heavy rain last evening, I was stuck at AET Junction while travelling from Eco World towards Sarjapur Road around 6:30 PM. Poorly coordinated signal timings and a lack of traffic management turned the junction into a nightmare.

Thousands of employees from Eco World, Eco Space, ETV etc. use this stretch daily, yet there seems to be no meaningful improvement. People waste hours in traffic every day, burning fuel and losing productive time, simply because a busy junction isn’t managed properly.

We pay hefty road tax, fuel tax, GST etc. but traffic management remains pathetic. Is asking for basic traffic management too much?

Why can’t the traffic police install VAC (Vehicle Actuated Control) signals here to manage traffic dynamically based on vehicle volume instead of relying on poorly coordinated fixed timings?

TL;DR: 45 minutes to cross AET Junction. Poor signal management, no accountability and no relief for daily commuters. Install VAC signals, take proper steps and fix this mess!

Rant Absolute pathetic state of government digital services

6 Upvotes

Was going over the process of getting an E-Khata for a property and I'm absolutely annoyed by the state of the digital services being offered here. Discrepancies in district names between portals (Bengaluru Urban does not appear in many sites at all!), property search facility is locked down between 7PM-8AM for reasons best known to them.

All of this coming after the fact that I paid Rs. 1,000 in "software fees" as part of the property tax - icing on the cake.

AskBangalore Built a lightweight, zero-login app to find co-passengers & split airport cabs at BLR (T1 & T2)

22 Upvotes

​

Hey r/bangalore,

If you land at Kempegowda International Airport (BLR), you already know the pain: an Uber, Ola, or BluSmart to places like Indiranagar, Koramangala, Whitefield, or HSR Layout routinely costs anywhere between ₹1,000 to ₹1,500+.

Most of us end up taking the cab alone with 3 empty seats.

To fix this for myself and fellow travelers, I built a lightweight, privacy-first web app to help travelers find co-passengers heading to the same neighborhood and split cab fares on the spot.

How it works (Zero Friction):

* No Signup / No Login Required — No passwords, no phone numbers, no forced downloads.

* Check-in in 5 Seconds — Select your terminal (T1 or T2), choose your drop neighborhood, and optionally enter a nickname.

* 45-Minute Live Matching — See co-passengers who landed around the same time heading to your area.

* Live In-App Chat — Coordinate a quick pickup spot (e.g., "Near Pillar B3 at T1") without giving away personal contact details.

* Auto Clean-up — Tap "We Paired Up!" to exit the queue once you find a co-passenger, so the active list stays fresh and clutter-free.

The app is completely free to use.

Try it here: Bangalore Airport Cab Share

Tip: Bookmark the link or add it to your phone's home screen so it's ready to use as soon as your flight lands!

Would love for the community to try it out on your next flight into BLR and drop any feedback or suggestions below! Safe travels! ✈️🚕

AskBangalore So I built an app out of frustration. For Namma Bengaluru. Solo founder, need to know what ya'll have to say about it.

https://reddit.com/link/1x7fe9h/video/b7wqbibkttvh1/player

I live around Kalyan Nagar. My building has a WhatsApp group, the society has one, and in the area people have a few more. And I still find out what happened on my own street a day late, or never. The dog that went missing two lanes away. The water cut only some knew about. The flea market in the park I walked past on Monday.

Power cuts were what finally got me. Every time: "Power gone?" "Here also." "Since when?" Then silence. Nobody knows if it's one building or half of East Bangalore, and nobody says when it's back.

So for most of this year I've been building an app on the side, on my own, for everything that happens within a couple of km of you. It's called Localiti.

The part I'm proudest of is small.

- When the power or water goes, you report it in a few seconds and see if homes around you are reporting it too. When it's back, one tap and everyone nearby can see it. Same for network outages and waterlogging.

- A map of what's happening around you right now - Localiti Radar

- A local buy and sell marketplace. Gigs for freelancers/artists/special skilled people.

- Events.

- There's also lost and found with a "last seen" pin.

- Networking platform with neighbors.

It only ever shows your area, never your address. The screenshots use sample posts.

The honest part: it's new and small. A neighbourhood app is only as good as the neighbours on it, which is why I'm posting here. The first 100 people in each area get a Founding Neighbor badge. It's only a badge, but you'd have been there first.

What I'd love to know:

- Would you actually use something like this, or is your building's WhatsApp group enough?

- What do you wish you knew about your area that you only ever find out by accident?

- If you try it, what's broken or confusing?

I'm one person, so you'd be talking straight to whoever fixes it. I'll be in the comments.

Localiti (opens in the browser, no install needed. Android and iPhone apps created too
