Broker fees: Bangalore's rental gatekeepers?

Did some research on current rental yields in Whitefield last weekend. Yaar, rents for a 2BHK have shot up almost 30-40% in 2 years. I'm planning to upgrade from my current 2BHK in Bellandur soon, and was checking rental potential. But the big shock was how brokers seem to gatekeep *everything*. Is it even possible to find direct landlords now without paying 1-2 months' rent as commission? So frustrating!

Totally agree with you! I'm also looking for a 2BHK near Marathahalli/Whitefield and the broker fees are insane. It feels like they've formed a cartel. Har jagah 1 month minimum, aur koi direct landlord milta hi nahi hai. It's so disheartening for first-time renters like us.

Sahi baat hai, U1! I was looking in Aavalahalli last month, and the brokers there are even worse. They show you places that are totally different
