The demand for housing in Bengaluru, India’s IT hub, has reached unprecedented heights. For many, securing a home, whether through purchase or rent, has become a significant financial burden. A recent post on X offers a glimpse into the skyrocketing property prices. A woman shared a post seeking a tenant for her 2BHK apartment, listing the rent as ₹43,000 and the deposit as ₹2.5 lakh.

“Good house. But 2.5 lakh deposit for a house in Koramangala? Might as well start selling organs on the black market to make up for this,” joked one user. Another commented, “2.5 L deposit WTF.”
A third user remarked, “Deposit 2.5 L. Mazak hai kya BLR city (Is it a joke Bengaluru),” while a fourth said, “43k rent for 2bhk that’s insane.”
Previously, another post by a Bengaluru resident about her Uber expenses also left people astonished. “I can’t believe my Uber expenses are more than half the amount I pay as rent in Bengaluru.
