A Reddit post about a 3BHK flat in Bengaluru’s Haralur, quoting Rs 2.7 lakh in rent per month, has left the internet questioning if landlords are simply making things up now.<\/p>\n
It all started with a screenshot that a user shared in a now-viral post on Reddit, which quoted Rs 2.7 lakh per month for the 1,464 sq ft 3BHK flat in Haralur, Bengaluru, along with a Rs 15 lakh security deposit. <\/p>\n
The listing described what looked like a basic apartment, which prompted the user to ask, \u201cIs this really something people pay for?\u201d<\/p>\n

The reaction online was swift and brutal. The post garnered hundreds of comments, mostly from users expressing disbelief and frustration over the city’s unpredictable rental scene.<\/p>\n
One user dismissed it flat out, saying, \u201cOther flats in the same society are being offered at Rs 50,000.\u201d Another user chalked it up to a typo, claiming, \u201cI think an extra zero has been added by mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n
But not everyone was convinced it was accidental. A section of the internet suggested it was a deliberate attempt to push prices higher. \u201cJust agents testing the waters,\u201d a user said. Several other users even theorised it was a fake ad or a placeholder listing with inflated numbers.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome IT couple detached from reality might still pay,\u201d a user said, while another added, \u201cThere is no end to stupidity for people living in Hyderabad and Bengaluru in the rental space. I can confirm for these two cities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether it was a pricing blunder or an agent\u2019s wishful thinking, the post has managed to trigger a broader conversation about Bengaluru\u2019s rent madness, and a growing sentiment that things might be heading off the rails.<\/p>\n
