Bengaluru is popular for rental housing but only for all the wrong reasons.
A report published by Anarock, a property consultancy firm, reveals that during the first quarter of 2024, Bengaluru recorded the highest rental yield, 4.45%, among India’s top seven cities.
A woman named Harnidh Kaur posted on social media about her rent woes in the city. She revealed that she was asked to pay Rs 5 lakh as a security deposit for her apartment, having a monthly rent of Rs 40,000. “I’m so tired,” she tweeted.
This is in stark contrast to the security deposits asked for in other metropolitan cities. Bengaluru stands at the top, with 6 to 10 months of rent to be deposited, while other places like Delhi, Mumbai, and Hyderabad appear to be more tenant-friendly with average deposits of 2-4 months.
Kolkata has the lowest security deposit rate and the rent is also meagre, thus making it the most affordable for tenants.
