It is known as India's “Silicon Valley”, Bangalore is a major attraction point for youth who are looking for job opportunities and future growth. Thus, owing to the numerous expatriates who seek residence in the city from time to time, the temporary housing or rental market has been mostly strong here, especially in areas close to the city's IT hubs. If you are also one of those people who are looking to rent a property, then you must know some basics about finding the property for rent in Bangalore.

Budget Decision

In Bangalore, landlords usually take an advance deposit of around 10-25 months to rent the property. They could also deduct the maintenance fee from the deposit while returning. You should consider this in your initial budget or start arranging the amount on time.


Location

  • Whether or not you have moved to the city yet, you should know where you want to live. The decision of location may depend on factors such as the distance from where you and your wife work, the distance from your child's school or other institutions. Dependence on public transport, safety, and most importantly, budget.


  • Since water scarcity is a major issue that Bangalore grapples with, try to settle in areas that have access to Cauvery water.


Public Transport Availability


  • If you don't plan on using a personal vehicle to travel around the city, you should consider staying in places that are well connected by public transport. Bus services are considered to be one of the most reliable sources of movement in Bangalore. Bangalore is served by Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) and Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation which covers most parts of the city and provides absolute intracity and intercity connectivity.


Guest Policy

Guest policy varies from landlord to type of accommodation and even the gender of the tenant. Some landlords are careless with guests and would not be much bothered if they got the monthly rent on time.


Parking Facilities

Ask the landlord if the parking facility is included in your monthly rent. Typically in a gated community, tenants enjoy the parking space allotted to the landlord. Parking space in independent homes is taken on a first-come-first-served basis.
