Ridiculous Mumbai housing scene

Bombay a.k.a Mumbai is definitely not an easy city in terms of housing for single people not born and brought up in Mumbai. Somehow it seems as if its written on the forehead if you are single and from the entertainment industry you are bound to cause problems.
Why is it so hard to get one decent apartment? and by decent I really do not have expectations too high. Today I had an argument with the society manager because I was crazy backache caused by an injury. Here I am trying to sort my job and my health thing out, on the other hand the society people do not give a shit about you. Even though it is their fault, all I am worried about is I hope they do not throw me out of the apartment.
Can we not have a proper background check and police verification and have decent people stay in apartments rather than based on their marital status. Is it ok to have an estranged couple and wife beater/husband abuser stay in the apartment rather than a decent single person having a regular job and looking to have a family? I really fail to understand these hypocrisies.  Why is it that I have to fly my Mom all the way from a different city just to sign the lease for the apartment and verify I am legitimate. :(

The unfortunate truth about housing in Mumbai! Well as of now all I can hope is beg and plead the manager to give me apology for a mistake I have not done. Lets hope I keep staying in this apartment for a long time or atleast till the end of the lease period.

Cheers!
