   I am vegan, much superior vegetarian.

   But I simply do not see any connection between someone’s diet and occupation of a house.

   So , if a person has dubious intents and claims to be vegetarian , will they let the house.?

   Of if others who claim to be straightforward, considerate and just, but not vegetarians , will they refuse??

   The point here is just to see if the prospective tenant has good credentials is honest and has the capability to pay the rent.

   Rest of the things are just unreasonable !!

   I say, MT is just giving too much place to breed differences and discrimination of absolutely unacceptable nature!

   Editorji can delete this if am wrong!!

     Hi Helen,

     I understand your predicament. But being a vegetarian myself my opinion is that its completely is in the interest of owner whom they want to let out their house. It is their right. Honestly, vegetarians can not stand the unpleasant smell of non veg cooking. That is the main reason for not letting house to nonvegetarians. And some people do not want nonveg items to be cooked in the house based on their religious belief. It is not discriminatory. It i is their right.

       Hi Madam,

       Thanks for your reply.

       You see… its not only the vegetarians who abhor bad smells of cooking non veg . Its highly skewed and flimsy to say that.
       Now this shows abject differences and separations.

       Further any healthy, normal human will abhor any bad smell.

       Meat, fish eggs and milk come from suffering animals. Their lives are snuffed out for human selfishness. Its dirty, right… besides being inethical!!

       Further, if you argue only as and for vegetarians, there is something else hiding behind that argument.
       Like you should be knowing about being vegan… People who respect animals, nature, and human lives…to say an absolute No TO any animal food. I am one of those who doesn’t use or consume, meats of any kinds, milk and eggs. I wear no leather, do not like silks and hate gold and diamond jewels… as human exploitations is involved.

       I understand that unspoken argument behind your explanation.

       But I have been in Mylapore ever since I came here as a teenager from North India. So , I will continue seeking what I want ,where I want. Its my right as well.

       Thanks for reading…

   Is there a support service for vegans and others with shifting needs?

   Why so many “veg only ads”. These chaps helped by all kinds of brokers veg, non veg and starving!!

   No one for the Others category!!

     hi, why keep arguing on a choice made by owners that they prefer vegetarians and it is their hard earned property which they would let out to any one they prefer and choose, you want to change the world its simply not possible, simply move on, no one asked you to be a vegan, its simply by your choice, so the rest too should be allowed not to prefer non vegeterians!

   I felt like rent in Mylapore is so high now even though it’s small house they are targeting 10000 pm.but less salaried people how they will afford for it. so I request house owners can reduce their rent

   Halo Madam,

   The owners in these areas are very cautious when it comes to letting their property out for rent. They have all the rights to specify the parameters w.r.t their targeted customer. I have had a pretty decent experience with mylapore times ads.

   Your mentioning of casteistic, greedy and all is not right and that’s not true.

   I would request you to browse other property websites like nobroker.in for your requirement.

   Sorry,

   But my home search continues despite these ads.
   But discrimination lies between lines.
   Pure Veg is not pure veg.. If I say I am vegan, any true pure vegetarian will open the doors.
   But say vegan, they keep saying they want pure veg..
   Slowly I understood, they mean that superior, high caste.
   So the pure veg clause is just a blanket term!
   Means I cannot call, enquire, or even mention am Christian with cats as family.

   Second, rents are extremely high!
   Guess what, its the doing of brokers. Owner would say Xamount
   Brokers would say , nay make it x+5ton15 Thousand.
   So something worth just x , perhaps reasonable to many who suffered joblessness, retrenchment, but having valid reasons to move, will be available for x+more! Some of these greed based rented houses remain vacant for long!
   So those in need not helped, house also remains vacant!!

   Mylapore times seem to encourgae pleasant talkers. One blanket term for casteistic, greedy people!

   Slowly feeling am not looking a reliable newspaper!

   Have anyways felt silenced and now reduced my visits or comments!

   Hope you try weeding off these elements and make it a magazine which supports inclusiveness!
