If you are coming to Bangalore first time to live here permanently (congrats for your new job btw), be ready to have a painful journey to find a Paying Guest (PG), Shared room or Apartments (1BHK, 2BHK and 3 BHK), it is not that that there is a shortage of them, it is just that you won’t be able to find exactly what you are looking for before spending lot of time going places to places.

First thing first, you have to pay “nice” 10 months advance for apartment rent which the owner of the flat will put in fixed deposit to get 7% interest rate, meaning, if you are married and looking for a 2 BHK for 10k, you have to give 1 lakh as security deposit so you don’t “run away” with the flat. If there is anything like “legal organized crime”, this is it. The person who came up with this genius idea of 10 month advance rent should be awarded some big price of economics for his work on “wealth redistribution”

Anyway seriously speaking, if you are married and most like this is not your first job, so take help of your company to get you a nice house, if you are not married, most likely you will be looking for shared rooms for Rs 2500 to Rs 5000, In that case, look at sulekha.com, which has lot of listings for PG and shared room, mostly by the PG/Hostel owners or brokers.

i have extensively used sulekha to find rooms and though most of them do not put any pics of the rooms (they should) its a good place to start your hunt if you are totally new to Bangalore. Infact for new people, it is always advisable to find people who can help him providing local knowledge, hence always go with shared rooms.

Good Luck for your search
