Family-only is still a common preference among owners in parts of Bengaluru, usually out of habit or past experience rather than anything written into law, since there is no rule either way that a landlord has to follow. The label saves everyone a wasted viewing, since it settles the question before anyone travels across the city to see a home. We confirm this directly with the owner, rather than letting a tenant find out at the door.
