Earlier in July, a Bengaluru tenant shared on social media that a landlord in Bengaluru asked for a ₹23 lakh security deposit for a 4BHK rental flat.
Following his post went viral, many social media users said the amount is crazy and unfair.
Not only in Bengaluru, but Hyderabad is not far behind. In March, a tenant Tanvi Mittal has sparked a heated debate on rental exploitation in metro cities after she revealed how her landlord unfairly deducted ₹30,000 from her Rs
1,04,000 security deposit, despite leaving the flat in perfect condition.
She mentioned that she and her co-tenants vacated their Hyderabad apartment on January 31, 2025, expecting a full refund. However, after repeated reminders and pleas, they received only ₹74,000 on March 9, 2025, with ₹30,000 deducted for questionable charges.
Among other things, Tanvi made it clear that if the remaining amount is not refunded, she will take legal action against the landlord.
