What is the rent increase every year in Bengaluru?

The usual annual increase written into a Bengaluru rental agreement is five to ten percent, applied when the agreement renews, property portals commonly report.

( SCROLL ↓ )

In sought after IT corridor pockets like Whitefield, HSR Layout or Koramangala, landlords sometimes push for eight to fifteen percent at renewal, especially when demand is high. This is a contract term you agree to upfront, not something fixed by any authority, so it can be negotiated like any other clause. Check the renewal and increase clause before you sign, not after you have already lived there for a year.
