The Indian tenants also tend to emit “interesting” cooking odors into surrounding apartments as well.

Yes, another reason the only people who will live in those other units after the first Indian moves in are other Indians. I’ve noticed whole housing developments (duplexes) where Indian “replacement Americans” occupy homes where America’s former middle class lived.

Some Caribbean people are big on cooking with curry, too; not my cup of tea...

The Indian tenants also tend to emit “interesting” cooking odors into surrounding apartments as well.

I once lived in an apartment complex in northern Virginia that was very ethnically "diverse". I remember the fetid cooking odors from our Indian neighbors apartment. Just going out into the stairwell during their mealtime was bad enough to make me gag.

I manage apartments. The odors that come from their apartments do smell better than the cigarette odor coming from other apartments.

As far as bugs they cooperate with our exterminator as well as anyone else.

Now they do leave their apartments dirty just like almost every other person that lives here.

They do try to bargain scapula deals. That’s irritating but other than that they aren’t much different.

There is a rental home next to our house. They just fixed it all up with new cabinets, carpeting, new bathrooms, etc.

An Indian couple and their two kids live there now. The cooking smell is terrible - it wafts over towards us once-in-awhile.

A friend that has rentals says he won’t rent to Indians anymore - you have to replace all the carpeting, prime and paint, etc. to try to get the smell out!
