How do I know if the rent I'm being quoted is fair?
Costs & deposits · answered from real data shared by Bangalore renters
The details
Asking rents are often well above what tenants end up paying. Three quick checks:
1. Same society. Look the building up on the societies page — 160+ complexes with median rents by BHK.
2. Same area and size. Open the area page (e.g. HSR Layout, Whitefield) for 1/2/3BHK medians.
3. Direction of the market. The Rent Index shows whether rents in that area rose or eased over the last 90 days.
The map has 8,300+ real rents. If a quote is far above the local median, ask what justifies it (furnishing, floor, parking, newer building) — or keep looking.

FAQ
How do I know if the rent I'm being quoted is fair?
Compare it with what people in the same area — ideally the same society — actually pay. bengaluru.rent shows real rents tenants reported, pinned on a map, so you can check a quote against neighbours before you negotiate.
