Avoid Settl: False Promises, Coercion, and Zero Accountability

Hello Reddit, I’m currently staying in a Settl property, and my experience has been terrible. Before moving in, their sales rep, Menaka, assured me I’d get a balcony room by December 1st. This promise influenced my decision, but now I’m stuck in a suffocating, windowless room, with no balcony rooms available. Here’s what happened: * **Coercion:** Menaka bombarded me with calls, even after hours, pressuring me to pay a ₹5000 non-refundable deposit, using threatening language. Once I paid, she stopped responding. * **False Promises:** I was misled about room availability. Despite follow-ups for **1.5 months**, Settl has ignored my emails and calls. * **Hidden Charges:** They deducted ₹1100 for “background verification” without informing me until moving day. * **Subpar Conditions:** The room lacks ventilation and is far below acceptable standards. Settl markets itself as premium, but my experience has been riddled with deceit and poor communication. Proceed with caution if you’re considering them. Has anyone else faced similar issues? Any advice would be appreciated, on how to take it up. I haven't paid rent for this month, and now they are saying we will cut the power from today onwards if I don't pay up. (They have disconnected my WiFi anyway) Please let know how to raise it, they have no response on their emails/tweets. *TL;DR: Settl promised a balcony room, pressured me into paying, and ignored all follow-ups. Stuck in a suffocating room with no help.*
