印度租房三大标准：禁单身和性行为(双语)

在印度租房不易

　　Renting a flat in urban India is no easy task, specially for single women and men.

　　在印度租一套公寓并不是件容易的事，特别是对于单身男女。

　　Signboards prohibiting “bachelor tenants” are not an uncommon sight in the capital Delhi and its neighbouring suburbs. Landlords usually have preferences like “vegetarian only”, “government officials only” and “Hindus only”. But they also have a long list of reasons to not rent their properties to single people. Here are the top five reasons that landlords give to “not even consider” single people as tenants.

　　在印度首都德里及周边郊区看到禁止“单身住户”的招牌并不是一种罕见的景象。房东通常有“仅供素食主义者”、“仅供政府官员”和“仅供印度教徒”的偏好。但他们也有一长串的理由不把房子租给单身的人。这里有五个房东“甚至不考虑”将单身的人作为租户的原因。

　　No alcohol please, we're Indian

　　禁止饮酒，我们是印度人

　　Several property agents said that one of the most common reasons that landlords don't like single people is because they have strict “no alcohol” policies.

　　一些地产代理商说，房东不喜欢单身人士的一个最常见的原因是他们有严格的“禁止饮酒”的制度。

　　Even if some landlord agrees to rent out his flat to a single person, the first condition they usually set is that the tenant cannot drink [alcohol] at home, one property agent who works in the suburban area of Ghaziabad said. He added that “some bachelors lie about this but they are often caught because landlords like to pay surprise visits to their tenants”.

　　“即使一些房东同意出租自己的公寓给单身的人，但他们通常设定的第一个条件就是，承租人不能在家喝酒，”一位在加兹阿巴德郊区工作的房地产代理说道。他补充说，“有些单身汉会撒谎，但他们往往被抓个现行，因为房东喜欢出其不意地去拜访他们的租客。”

　　Rent review

　　租金审查

　　The second reason, according to the agent is that “landlords have this misconception that bachelor people don't pay their rent on time”.

　　根据代理人所说，第二个原因便是：“房东有这样的误解，即单身的人不按时付房租”。

　　Kamal Vikram Dhar, a marketing professional who lives in the Ghaziabad area on the outskirts of Delhi, said “it's frustrating that landlords have these misconception”. “I had to meet at least 15 landlords before one finally agreed to rent his flat to me,” he said.

　　Kamal Vikram Dhar，生活在德里郊外的加兹阿巴德地区的一位营销专业人士说：“房东有这些误解是令人沮丧的”。他说：“在最后一个房东答应将他的公寓租给我之前，我不得不至少见15个房东。

　　'Bad hygiene'

　　不讲究个人卫生

　　Some landlords also believe that single people keep the place dirty and don't care about hygiene.

　　一些房东还认为，单身的人房间很脏，他们不讲究个人卫生。

　　That is just generalisation, said Ruhi Agarwal, a student who also had a hard time finding a place to live. “Hygiene has nothing to do with one being single or not. But yes, it's common for landlords to repeatedly remind us about keeping the place clean,” she said.

　　Ruhi Agarwal说道，“这只是一概而论”。他是一名学生，曾经也为找不到住房而发愁。“卫生状况与是否单身并无关系。但是，房东反复提醒我们保持住房清洁，这已经司空见惯。”她说。

　　'No boyfriends and girlfriends'

　　禁止有男女朋友

　　Being in a relationship can also seriously dent any single person's chances of renting a flat in Delhi.

　　处朋友也会严重影响到任何一个人在德里租一套公寓的机会。

　　You just can't bring your boyfriend or other male friends home. And if you do, it often become a scandal in the apartment, a young woman who works in an IT firm in Noida, another suburban area of Delhi, told the BBC. “Some friends of mine were told to vacate their flat within 24 hours because they invited their male friends to their house,” she added.

　　“你不能带你的男朋友或其他男性朋友回家。如果你这样做，它往往成为这个公寓里的丑闻，”在德里的另一个郊区，即诺伊达的一家信息技术公司工作的一位年轻女士告诉BBC。“我的一些朋友被告诉24小时内搬出公寓，因为他们邀请他们的男性朋友去家里，”她补充说。

　　Amit Agarwal, a Noida-based property agent, said “landlords are yet to be comfortable with the idea of relationships”.

　　Amit Agarwal，诺伊达区的物业代理，说“房东并不觉得这种想法有什么不妥”。

　　'Bad influence'

　　坏影响

　　Mr Agarwal said some landlords also fear that single people are “a bad influence on children because they drink and smoke”. “Whenever landlords come to us to to put their properties for rent in the market, their first preference is not single people,” he said, “I do not agree with them, but then I don't have a choice. It takes too much effort to find a place for single people.”

　　阿加瓦尔说一些房东也担心单身的人会对孩子产生不良影响，因为他们抽烟喝酒”。他说：“当房东来到我们这里并把他们的租房信息放在市场上时，他们优先考虑的并不是单身的人，”“我不同意他们的话，但我别无选择。单身的人想要找到一个住所需要花费太多的精力了。”
