My recent move opened my eyes to Bangalore rents

Okay I'll be honest — I completely underestimated how crazy Bangalore rents are now. Just moved into my own flat near Whitefield last month, and now helping a friend find a rental. Matlab, what even is happening? The rents have shot up like crazy, almost 30-40% increase in like two years. It's insane. For a decent 2BHK in Sarjapur Road or even Bellandur, log ₹40-50k maang rahe hain. Pehle toh itna nahi tha. And then these broker charges, yaar! Can't even find direct landlord deals anymore, brokers gatekeep everything. Is this just the new normal for Bengaluru? Will it stabilize or keep going up? Anyone else facing this? Kya sahi mein itna justified hai?

Haan bhai, this is so true! I'm also looking for a 2BHK and the prices are just absurd. My budget feels like a joke now.

Exactly! Aur yeh security deposit ka kya scene hai? Some landlords are asking for 10 months rent! Is there any way to negotiate this down, ya it's just standard practice now?
