'Find me a 3 BHK, I’ll pay you half month rent': Irked Bengaluru tenant turns to help for house hunt

Finding a stay in Bengaluru is not that easy is what the internet has often said. Adding to the existing rants and discussions, a Reddit post is going viral.

In the post, a frustrated house-hunter has made an unusual offer: a cash reward for anyone who can help them secure a suitable accommodation in the IT city.

The user said they would pay “half a month’s rent” to anyone who shares a lead for a 2.5 or 3 BHK apartment in certain areas of Bengaluru — but only if they end up liking the property and finalising it as their new home.

"Super frustrated" with Bengaluru house hunting scenes, they wanted to give social media a try. "I'm super frustrated looking for good houses. So here it is! Giving this a shot...I’m gonna pay you half month rent. We can meet face to face. If you want you can come with me to see the property, if I close, you get half month rent. So yeah, feel free to reach out to me on my DMs," they wrote on Reddit.

The Reddit user mnetioned that he has been looking for a “good house” somewhere in or around the Koramnagla area. The preferred locations listed in his post said - Koramangala, HSR Layout, Kudlu Gate and Ulsoor - localities they called "good prime area".

The budget mentioned was a maximum of Rs 48,000 per month, with a planned move-in date (with family) of April 1.

Netizens react

The post caught the attention of netizens and received a few reactions. People shared links to potential properties in the comments section.

Were Reddit users responding to him for the money reward? Well, one of the comments, read, "No I don't need half month comission. If it works out, get me 2 cans of beer."

"5 beers I’ll buy you bro! Pakaaa," the original poster replied.

Many pointed out that the budget of Rs 48,000 was not enough for the size of home the person was looking for in the said areas.
