A woman's social media post on the skyrocketing rents and huge security deposits in Bengaluru has gone viral. A netizen named Anamika said on her social media that she is being asked for a monthly rent of Rs 60,000 and a deposit of Rs 1 lakh for a simple 2BHK flat.

According to Anamika, she has been looking for a rented house for her family in Bengaluru for the past three weeks. Since she has the facility of working from home, she has not limited herself to just one area but has searched the entire city. However, she lamented that she has not yet found a suitable house. In one place, not only is a rent of Rs 60,000 being demanded for a 2BHK house, but maintenance charges ranging from Rs 5,000 to Rs 7,000 are being asked in addition to that.

She said that the security deposit burden is also exorbitant along with the rent. She said that the landlords are demanding a deposit of Rs 3 lakh to Rs 5 lakh, and in some places, a deposit of more than Rs 8 lakh. Although she has been living in Bengaluru for the past four to five years, she satirized that this house hunting has given her a complete understanding of the streets and different areas of the city.

Anamika believes that the prices are increasing because people pay the rent asked by the landlords without asking any questions. She expressed her concern that bachelors can reduce the cost by sharing a single room, but those living with families cannot bear this financial burden. Currently, this post stands as a testament to the difficulties faced by the common man in finding a house to rent in Bengaluru.
