Blr guys -Did you come across a 'good landlord' yet, or is it just oxymoron?

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.

Hello BLR folks, I currently stay with my cousin’s fam but want to move out. I have observed a lot of good pgs have high prices like 12k for double sharing and stuff like that. My main requirement is privacy and a personal space. I work remotely so flexible on locations too but i think i should go for a 1bhk or a 1rk. What do you guys suggest? Also please share best ways to find a house here?

Need to switch houses soon (humongous rental hikes have hit my society haha), can folks here provide some stats on what they’re paying, in which area, and how long ago they moved in. Also suggest some decent places to look for, area don’t matter, I’m mostly looking for metro proximity. Thanks!

Help me figure this out because up till now it seems like all my decisions were wrong. New job, new city, fresher. Found a single occupancy in a pre occupied 2BHK in my budget, and as per my preferences. Had to shift in the middle of the month. Since the room I am supposed to get is occupied by someone else(X), the landlord suggested that I adjust in the hall area for the half month and then I would shift to the room from October. I was okay with this, and under the impression that X is also okay with this arrangement. Mind that X is not present in the flat, X has been away since a month. The other two flatmates (Y, Z) in the other room are also okay with this. I have given deposit of 20k to the landlord. Now X comes back today, starts a fight with me straightaway, starts throwing my things. X says that the hall is common space and since X is paying rent I cannot be there, X only wants their friend to take that room, and a million other things. X is the most problematic person I've ever come across. Bhagwaan jane kaun isse shadi karega. Y, Z back me up. We speak to the landlord and he scolds X. Now although X has verbally agreed to moving out at the end of the month, what if X refuses to move out? Mera toh agreement bhi nahi bana hai.. I should prolly start looking for flats 😵

As an unmarried couple, can you share your experience searching for a rent house in Blore. I'm looking for one around Koramangala/ HSR.

Finding a flat in blr is literally a nightmare! Have checked out 5-6 flats so far and already super frustrated with the entire process of looking for leads, checking flat, flatmates vibe check and what not!
