Bengaluru, the silicon valley of India is not only infamous for its traffic woes but finding an accommodation is a huge problem in the city. Rents are exorbitantly high and there is a lot of grueling done by house owners. Now, a picture of a flat listed on a house-hunting website has baffled social media users. The tiny flat that can fit just a single bed is available for rent at a surprisingly high price.
"A room for bed is a bedroom. WTF Bangalore. What the hell? Why? 12k for this s..t, and there'll be some d......k who'd actually pay," reads the caption of the post shared on on Reddit by a user ‘_saiya_’ on the platform’s ‘r/India’ community.
The picture shows the room that can barely accommodate a single bed, available for rent in Bengaluru’s Mahadevapura for Rs 12,000 per month. Later in the comments section, '_saiya_' shared that the deposit for this particular 1RK (room, kitchen and bathroom) is Rs 50,000.
Since being shared, the viral post has garnered varied comments from users.
"How are the prisons in Bangalore?Bet they got more room than this," commented one user on the post.
"Reminder to self. Never apply for jobs in bangalore," wrote another user.
"Not a flex, but my toilet is bigger than that bedroom," commented a third.
While a fourth wrote, "To be honest I’ve seen flats like these in Mumbai and the brokers demand 1 month rent as brokerage plus yearly brokerage of 1 month rent."
"Foyers in regular homes are bigger than this. People would be better off buying a 10x10 plot and building a kaccha house in here," wrote a fifth.
