New Job - Bangalore

Try searching for a month. Else get a broker. If you want gated societies and are a family, brokers are better. Negotiate hard! Like super hard! Pay the broker extra if he reduces rent! Incentivise him for your deal.

I pushed my broker to remove the clause which deducts 1M rent from my deposit. Broker also negotiated the annual rent increase of 10% down to 5%.the rent was reduced slightly by 2K as well.

Fb F&F is great for non brokerage apartments even in gated societies where someone is looking for replacement
