‘It took ₹91,000 just to get keys’: Bengaluru woman reveals cost of renting flat on Sarjapur Road
A Bengaluru woman revealed she spent ₹91,000 just to move into a flat, breaking down rent, deposit and brokerage costs.
Published on: Apr 26, 2026 4:40 PM IST By Mahipal Singh Chouhan Share via Copy link A Bengaluru woman has sparked a conversation online after sharing a detailed breakdown of how much it cost her to move into a rented flat in the city. Taking to Instagram, the woman, named Taanisha, posted a video in which she explained the rent, deposit, brokerage and area details of her new flat in Sarjapur. A Bengaluru woman shared the real cost of renting in Bengaluru and said getting flat keys cost her ₹91,000. (Instagram/taani_0710) (Also read: Bengaluru woman pays ₹24,000 rent for ‘average room’, says lake and cherry blossoms make it worth it) In the video, she said, “Okay, so the first video went crazy and the most asked question was ‘rent kitna hai?’ (how much is the rent?). So today I’m breaking down everything. Rent, brokerage, deposit, area, everything to the bits.” Explaining why she chose Sarjapur, she added, “First, the area. Why Sarjapur? Office ke paas hai (it's near the office), restaurants, gyms, badminton courts, everything at walking distance. You don't find that in Bangalore.” Rent, deposit and brokerage Taanisha said the monthly rent for the entire flat is ₹38,000, which she shares with a flatmate. “Second, coming to rent. Full flat is 38,000. I have a flatmate, so my share is 19,000,” she said. She then explained the deposit amount, saying, “Now, deposit. It’s three months rent, so that is 1,14,000. My share was 57,000.” However, she said brokerage was the part that hurt the most. “And then there's brokerage. This money stings the most because once this is gone you’re never seeing this money again. So my share of the brokerage was 15,000,” she said. Adding up all the costs, she said, “So in total, it took me 91,000 rupees just to get the keys in Bangalore. Honestly, I have zero budget to buy furniture right now, so I thought of something smarter.” (Also read: JP Morgan techie in Bengaluru breaks down ₹30K monthly spend, rent takes biggest chunk) The video was shared with a caption that read, “38,000 rent. 1,14,000 deposit. 15,000 brokerage. This is what it actually costs to move into a flat in Bangalore. No fluff, no filters, every rupee broken down. And after all of this my furniture budget was completely gone. So I did something smarter.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Taanisha (@taani_0710)Internet reacts
The clip has garnered several reactions from social media users, many of whom related to the high cost of renting in Bengaluru. One user wrote, “This is exactly why moving to Bangalore feels like a financial shock.” Another said, “ ₹91,000 upfront is not rent, it is an entry fee.” Someone else added, “This is the most realistic flat breakdown I have seen.” Another said, “Bangalore salaries go straight into rent and deposit.” HT.com has reached out to the user for her comments, and the copy will be updated once her response is received.
