My Dwarka rental reality check

My 2BHK rent in Dwarka for ₹35k feels okay, but for new tenants, similar flats are going for ₹45k now. Just moved in last month. Rent has really shot up, like 30-40% in two years. Is this jump justified? Will it stabilize ya it's the new normal? Also, next time, can I find landlords directly? Brokers gatekeep everything here. My previous search was pura broker pe dependent. Any tips to avoid brokerage in Delhi?
