BENGALURU — A landlord in Indiranagar increased the rent on a one-bedroom apartment after discovering that a previously unnoticed opening in the wall could be marketed as a window.

The 18-centimetre opening overlooks another wall and receives direct sunlight for nine minutes each February.

The updated listing now describes the home as biophilic, cross-ventilation-ready and suitable for founders who value constrained minimalism.

Other properties offer walls. This property offers a relationship with the outdoors.

Tenants have been asked to pay an additional deposit to cover possible wear and tear on the view.

YES, THIS IS SATIRE.
