The Bengaluru rental market scates new heights in 2025, with average rents that increase by 15.7% in just the first quarter – exceeding the most larger Indian metrics. In the main pockets, tenants stare at hiking by 20-25%, fueled by the relentless growth of infrastructure and near the airport.
Hotspots are now commanding massive rentals by forcing many paid technology professionals to spend nearly half of their housing revenue. The external lists, such as 3BCK in Haralur, who require £ 2.7 per month with an incredible deposit of £ 15, have passed viral, reflecting widespread frustration due to dizziness and unpredictable prices.
In the midst of this rage, the tensions of the tenant’s owner are preparing, with complaints of exploitative taxis and steep deposits. Even while some companies-and I see tenants withdraw 10-15% reduction in rent, the market remains fiercely competitive, leaving renters torn between absorbing the cost of punishing or researching home ownership.
Capturing the mood of thrilled renters, a Canadian citizen living in India set a spiritual debate on the Internet after highlighting deposits for renting the jaw that kept the scene of Bengaluru.
Kaleb Frisen came out on the Social Media platform X (formerly Twitter) to share a 3BHK apartment list in the Diamond area, Domlur – but it was not the rent itself that caused a stir. The 19.25 -pound security deposit left stunned users.
The monthly rent of the apartment stood on the already huge £ 1.75 bow. But the deposit, Kaleb said, was out of reason.
“Rs 19 Lucky for Security Deposit! Absolutely accompanying landlords these days. I could literally buy a new Machindra Tar for less than this deposit. Everyone knows about the place in/around Indiangarago with 2-3 months deposit only?
His post quickly went viral, watching over 18,000 views and caused a mixture of humor, tips and disbelief.
One user withdrew: “Don’t just buy for special people,” while another noticed: “Negotiating Rent and Non-Negotiation Deposit! Classic Bengaluru.”
Others offered practical suggestions. A colleague resident suggested: “Looking for Flatmate in my 2bhk, no deposit is needed, just show our start in your videos.”
The user emphasized the comparative absurdity of Bengaluru prices: “You can buy an apartment in the skate for so much!” To what Kaleb responded: “Loll, yes, same in Aisal, where I am currently living.” Crazy. “
Some comments were more pragmatic, calling on Caleb to investigate Mahadevapura for better deals or to rely on local brokers instead of searches online.
But for many, the numbers were simply astonishing. As one user summarized: “Damn! It’s too huge.”
