We recently rented a flat in this building thinking it will be a luxury up-market property.
Let's start with the process of pre-rental. So we saw the house and liked the location as close to our family. But, we wanted to see more houses so we contacted another broker via magicbricks to see if he had more options.
We came the next day and the Lodha group would not allow us to see the house. Apparantly they have some in house rental agency or something which regulates who gets to see the house and when and by whom. We were sent back and the man, Ha* Pa*, was very rude to me an my mother.
Nevertheless, we found someone in our network who owns a property with the layout I wanted and decided to rent from them because we thought this would not be an issue once we move in.
Cut to today,
I literally ended up in tears begging the guards to let me into my own house at the gate.
The staff is extremely rude and to get anything done it is a fight:
Getting my furniture to my house - fight.
Getting my house cleaned(by outside cleaners) - fight.
Getting my packers and movers to deliver - fight.
(During furniture moving the service lift malfunctioned and we were stuck in the lift in a. very scary situation as it kept shaking yet when we came out they would not let us carry the furniture in the normal lift. I felt like a piece of cr@% as I begged the guards to have my furniture delivered to my house. We could not take the stairs as its a high floor(Above 15+ floor)
Entering the building(who are you, where do you come from, SHOW ME YOUR ID - every single damn time - are not questions you wish to be asked after driving an hour through traffic to come to YOUR OWN HOUSE. Later, the guard even harased my mother with this. She asked me to move out but we have signed a lease which is a 1 year binding so I am trying to figure out what I can do to break that.
The other day I was just walking around the propoerty courtyard at night(around 10 pm) to see get some air and I got asked who are you and where are you going? . What am I aishwaryasingh23ing for?
.
Now coming to the quality of the house:
Basic attention to detail is missing such as there is no water connection point for putting water purifier in the kitchen. The material used is low quality ply rather than wood, which actually broke in just opening a shelf. It would not have been such a "huge" issue if they were not charging a bomb by calling it a "luxury" property,
There is no sign of in house cleaning etc which they proudly promise.
Oh also, in some houses the sewage pipe runs through the kitchen, there is a duct for it but I shudder to think what will happen if it leaks someday. Unfortunately, I did not see this before renting.(That is a lesson for me to learn)
OVERALL,
Staff is rude, I am made to feel like a criminal for trying to enter my own house.
Materials are not good quality and a lot of walls are hollow. Be careful before you try mounting tv etc on them.
- Thank You! We appreciate your effort.
