Tenants, Landlords & Rental Lessons | Unscripted Routes Ep. 31

In Episode 31 of Unscripted Routes, we share our experiences from both sides of renting homes—as landlords in India and as tenants abroad. We talk about how renting has changed over the years, from annual rental agreements in Saudi Arabia to monthly rentals in India and Canada, and how different countries approach tenancy very differently. The conversation then shifts to real experiences with tenants—unpaid electricity bills, delayed rent, court cases, COVID-related challenges, and why recovering your peace of mind is often more important than recovering every rupee. We also discuss Canada's rental system, credit history, advance rent, post-dated cheques, and why landlords there are often cautious when renting to newcomers without a financial history. Towards the end, we reflect on an important lesson that extends beyond renting: protecting your peace, choosing your battles wisely, and not allowing unnecessary conflicts to consume your time and energy. A conversation about property, responsibility, trust, and the lessons that come from dealing with people. No script. Just two friends thinking out loud. 🔔 Subscribe for new episodes every week.
