Flat hunting is a nightmare in BLR. > Started flat hunting (2BHK) > Needed a gated society for security reasons > Closer to HSR, that avoids choke points > 2BHK range was 60-90K, for matchbox bed rooms. > Few of them were 10-15 years old, yet the cost > 5-10 months of deposit were asked > Being a bachelor is an issue with most owners > You finalise one, and it's gone the next hour to some other agency > Brokers charge 1 month's rent, and won't even come to show you the flat, they will send you alone to the flat in most cases, with approvals > If the flat is available from 20th let's say, most owners want you to occupy it from 21st, irrespective of 21st being few days away, and don't understand that you usually start on 1st of the month anywhere. > Once your number is out, you will be bombarded with below average flats, which doesn't even meets your requirements, just because they got your number from somewhere. Finalised one, rent ~80, ~5 months of deposit. The owner was not okay with Bachelor, the agency had to show my profile, and then convince them. So to move in on 1st, I need to have ~5L gone from the account (although I get the deposit back), but still, how will someone manage that who's new and has just started. Anyways, you would be deducting a month's rent when the tenant leaves, I don't see a reason on why being a bachelor is an issue (unless the surroundings don't allow it) that too in such premium societies. Overall a pathetic experience overall, done ranting, thank you.
