Bengaluru Tenant Shocked By Rs 70,000 Rent, Rs 4 Lakh Deposit Ask
A Bengaluru tenant's post about a 2BHK flat has gone viral. The landlord asked for Rs 70,000 a month in rent plus a deposit of around Rs 4 lakh. The tenant shared the story on Reddit.
The flat was near his office. He said he was ready to pay a premium for the location. But the bedrooms were too small to fit a queen-size bed and a desk.
The flat was called fully furnished, but it had only one bed, two sofas, and a small TV. There was no fridge or washing machine. The tenant offered Rs 65,000 with a three-month deposit.
The landlord refused. He walked away without regret. The post sparked a big debate online.
Many users said Bengaluru rents are out of control. Others blamed tenants for paying whatever is asked. The story shows the pressure on renters in India's tech capital.
The tenant posted the story in the bangalorerentals subreddit. It drew hundreds of comments from other renters. Many users said high rents persist because some tenants keep paying them.
Others blamed landlords for refusing to negotiate.
