So my friend from the army, Major Cooking *salutes* won't be able to visit?!ecureilx wrote:As I said, when I shared with guys, there was no issue .. and as a Landlord asked "NO MAJOR COOKING"

Maybe this gives me the opportunity to contribute my experience as well... I had an Indian flatmate 3+ years ago for a year, a middle-aged woman. she would sometimes put her washing in the communal washing machine, including washing powder, and then just leave them there for hours. Cooking was ok, until her mother was visiting (twice within a year, for about a month each). Said mother wanted to start cooking at 7am (or thereabouts) with a pressure cooker - which is very noisy. Things went really downhill when she thought it a good idea to get a puppy (in a shared flat!), that would of course yelp without end when she was out working or otherwise. That was the final straw for the landlady as well, it seems, and she was unceremoniously kicked out.
I think it did not have too much to do with her being Indian, more with her just being bat-s**t-crazy and generally inconsiderate.
I should also mention that my now-previous landlord had an Indian family before us, which resulted in him having to renovate the place, and in him not accepting Indian tenants anymore for the future.
That said, I have a couple of friends from India who are very nice
