Welcome to Bengaluru, the city of dreams and broken wallets. These are actually good terms that you have got. Some people end up paying >6 months of security deposit. Close your eyes and go for it if you've seen the place.

Good deal, nothing shady. 
  
 Also, this is the standard in Bengaluru. You pay at the end of the month. Financially it's the same as one month less of deposit.

Software Engineer

Just pay them 2x amount almost 90% ask here 2x only. 
 1x is advance 1x is rent.

Consultant

Regarding the notice period, it's always negotiable. We all know it 😂🤞

You got a good deal man. Rent payment at end is good. Take it. Negotiate on notice

Hey. 6 months is the norm here. You got a good deal

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.

Hyd peeps! Please help me identify any issue with this rental deal.

I'm looking to rent a 3bhk flat in Kormangla, as I'm about to move there soon. Upon seeing these ridiculous rents and deposits, it got me wondering if there's any leverage I have against Bangalore landlords.
I've heard this on multiple occasions that techbros suck at negotiating and most would go with brokers where they don't have direct communication with the landlord during the negotiation phase. Maybe that's part of the problem?
Is there anything we have or can use as a point based on which we can negotiate the rent ?
I'd love to know if there's anyone here or someone they know who has successfully done this.

How do you negotiate rent with blr landlords?

We are planning to rent an apartment but we want to rent it for minimum 3 years to avoid hassle. So planning to have a minimum 3 years agreement. So two queries around it:
1. What should be yearly %increase in rent advisable 
2. Even for longer term agreement, owner can give 2 months notice for vacating. So how do we protect against it 

Thanks

Query around rental agreement

Founder

Recently my friends moved to 4 BHK apartment near Domlur. The total rent is coming to 1 Lakh for unfurnished apartment, it has some really good amenities.

All 3 of them have offices nearby, and I work remotely for a US startup. After, furnishing and one time setup, just rent is coming to 32k. I am unsure, whether moving there would be worth it or not for me.

I really enjoy company of my friends, but the rent for me is expensive + 6 months deposit. I can definitely afford to pay that much rent, but not sure whether it’ll be good decision or not because of market conditions and tons of uncertainties. I cannot back out if I say yes.

I am super confused, one side I want to stay with friends and on other side rent and deposit is worrying me.


Would love to hear thoughts of you all. 🙏

Is it worth it to pay 32k in rent for a room in bangalore if you work remotely ?

One of the reson for increase in rent especially in Bangalore is these early 20s bachelors earning min 20 to 30LPA, who think when splitted rent into 2 to 3 flatmates it will be less than 30K. They don't know the struggle once they get married and is a single earner in the family.

I will be moving to Bangalore in the coming June/July. Need to look for a flat to rent in the Whitefield area. Some questions regarding the same:
1. What would be the approximate cost to rent a 2/3 bhk in sharing in the Whitefield area. 
2. How many months before moving should I ideally start looking for a flat.
3. Any hacks to ease the process of house hunting?

Some questions related to renting a flat in Bangalore

Business Analyst

Hey guys! Is there anyone here who has there company in Manyata Tech Park and is staying nearby that area.

Asking since i'll be shifting there next month so need some suggestions from you guys over the same

Shifting to Bengaluru

Application Analyst

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?

Bangalore rents 🤯

Hi guys , I need help to find decent place to live . My wife s expecting in December 2024.
My owner has suddenly increased the rent by 30% when the clause say 5%.he has already given notice to either agree to new term
Or consider it as notice period.
I stay in doddanekundi in the greens apartment besides alpine eco. This is a 3rd class society. I am already paying a very high rent of 36k+5k maintenance plus 6kwater charges every quarter for tanker. 
There is no place for kids to play . No place or elderly to walk and even adult to spend time in society except home.
Now owner has increased the rent by 30% aka 10k per month.
So new rent will be 46k plus maintenance plus water  tanker bill.please help me find a decent property with car parking.
I am so tired of Bangalore rentals situation.
Why the owner have become so greedy.
Society has only 3 amenities- congested car parking , 1 swimming pool, and 1 functional gym with limited equipment.

Rent increase by 30%

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

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?

Senior Consultant

I wonder what exactly flat owners do after taking 10 months of deposit around 3 lakhs? Do they put in FD or invest somewhere?

Hyd peeps! Please help me identify any issue with this rental deal.
