Don’t get it in a prominent location or one that’s famous  
 Look a little bit far (2-3) kms from that area and you’ll get good places  
  
 But yeah, I feel you. Took almost 2 months to find a good place

I’m looking in places like Kadugodi and also away from metro line

Sharing wealth is not a problem, that’s why ready to agree to almost double the rent for the same size of flat im currently staying in - in Chennai. Its the other idiotic terms and conditions that I’ve never heard before

House hunting woes

House hunting woes- Grapevine

I have been looking for flats for about 2 months now, finally found a decent, affordable place. . 
In my search for a place in my preferred area, I could not find one place with a per person rent of 15k-20k, esp in a gated society and what is not shady. And then began the search for flatmates
These new people get back to me saying they are interested and have been looking for a place for months but are expecting a rent so low that they back off. 
How do you explain to these people that real estate prices HAVE shot up and are not coming back down? HOW?

There's some real frustration I have developed here, not only because of the high real estate prices, but also because of how people here keep waiting, passing up good places in the hope for cheap but good places when clearly that's not going to happen.

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I recently managed to find a nice house in Bangalore after 4 months of searching. Happy to share the learnings - AMA

Renting a house in Bangalore

Founder

Recently our Owner asked us to vacate after 3 years of staying here in Koramangala, a 4 BHk home. Mostly be renegotiating with him. 

Meanwhile in our search for possible other options, we have found that most of the residential properties are being inflated randomly by the owners recently, the reason being, we all know the influx into Bangalore & I have had a call with few properties

- 1.3 Lakhs quotes for unfurnished 4 BHK home in HSR Sector 1

- 1.5 Lakhs quoted for Unfornished 5 BHK in HSR sector 3 

Too much firing in place, AI advent, Funding slowdown in Startups

Things are going super greedy with owners here in Bangalore. 

Thoughts on how to overcome this situation ?

Bangalore Rents are going Crazy

People laughed at me when I asked for decent living spaces below 10k at these locations. It took 2 days, i went for a walk in the streets of Koramangala and HSR layout. And found multiple 1rk's less than 8k and multiple 1bhk's less than 12k. There are a lot of furnished 1bhk apartments with rent ranging from 15k to 18k. To all the people who are new to Bangalore, don't fall prey for hefty rents, do roam in and around the surroundings.. you will find good places within the budget. Surprisingly there are plenty of vacant spaces and soon the prices will come down.

Why landlords don’t like renting to bachelors': Pics of trashed Bengaluru apartment go viral

Project Coordinator

I have took a 1Bhk house for Rs.13500/month in 2021 Dec. In the agreement it was mentioned that rent will be increased by 5% every year. But after 11 months he has increased it by almost 50% and made it to 19k. Again after 11 months now he is increasing by another 15% and making it to 21500 or else asking me to vacate house. He is not following terms and conditions mentioned in the house agreement, we can't trust him that he may increase rent abruptly after another 11 months. What should I do?

House owner incresing rent more than agreement percentage. What should I do?

I know it's a sarcastic post and he is talking about rent prices in London. But it relates well with Bangalore too 😅

Suits well for Bangalore landlords.

Rent increase by 30%

Welcome to Fintech India's Private Community

Asking from people who consider that one should strive towards owning a house (or an even stronger stance that not owning a house is not an option for them).

Really want to understand their POV. 

Why are you comfortable taking 15-20 year loans for the dream of owning a house?

I'm not able to wrap my head around the pace at which rents increase in Bangalore. 

We moved here about a year ago and rented a 2 BHK semi-furnished apartment with basic amenities for 28k plus maintenance charges. The rent agreement said there would be a 10% increase after one year. Even though it was a bit over our budget, we decided to go for it. 

Now, a year has passed and we've settled in, but the owner is suddenly saying he's canceling the previous agreement and starting a new one with a rent of 38k plus maintenance. And he told us this only 15 days before! This new amount feels way too high for our apartment. We're thinking about moving out, but then again the trouble of finding another place and shifting all our stuff in short period is making me anxious. 
We are not able to decide on what to do. Is this normal here? Any advice?

My family already has a house although there is some debt left which I had inherited and to an extent reduced it, now it is negligible when it comes to Monthly cutting. The only concern is that it's old and is small given the family will become big slowly and I plan to get married by next year, I'm in this situation where people are saying put in efforts and buy a house but I have this feeling that we should rent for some years and then save to buy a property (all this, given property prices will keep on increasing)
I have okay savings as of today, I have some in mf and stocks but that too is okayish. 
I need some of your opinions here.

Gf will be studying for next 2-3 years, it's a constraint as well.

Thanks 🙏🏽

Software Engineer

In and around Whitefield rents have increased more than 10k compared to last year. It's very difficult to find a good house in budget near to office and near to kid school. Salaries are not increased but cost of living is touching the sky.
Is it same overall Bangalore?

Guys ,can you please help me out with the 2BHK flat hunting near kalyani magnum in banglore

How to hunt flat in banglore

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Bengaluru fam - Please help me understand this.

I've been looking for a flat for moving in with my girlfriend with whom I'll be marrying in 2025. Since we're just 2 people, we just need a small flat in a 1Bhk/1RK setting

In our 1 week search, we just found 2 flats, both of which didn't allow couples to move in. The others we saw were wayyyyy out of our budget of 25k. And some of them asked for a deposity of over 1.5 Lakhs. 

We're a peaceful couple, not interested in socializing or drinking in house. It's so freaking exhausting to find a decent place to even stay here. 

Has anyone else also experienced the same situation like us ?

Why is finding a decent 1Bhk so hard here ?

I found a flat to rent in Whitefields area. In my experience of renting in various cities, including Hyderabad in the past, owners ask for 1 or 2 months of deposit and 1 month of advance rent. So if I move on 1st Jan, I pay 3X to the owner of which 2X is the deposit and 1X is the rent for Jan.

However, this particular flat owner is asking me for 3 months deposit and no advance rent. So I still pay 3X on 1st Jan when I move to the flat, but all of that goes towards deposit. 1st Feb is when I pay the rent for the month of Jan.

In monetary terms I think it is one and the same, but I am not able to wrap my head around this. Is there any downside of this arrangement for me?

Also, while we are here, is it normal to give a 2 month notice for vacating the flat? When I was in Hyd few years ago , owners would ask for 1 month notice. So want to check if this is a new trend.
