Moving in Bangalore means more than finding a flat
Finding the flat is only half the job. You also need a flatmate to share the rent, a replacement when you are leaving before the lease ends, and a sofa, bed, fridge or TV on a sensible budget. Most people end up scrolling through scattered WhatsApp groups and listings with no way to tell what is real.
The APKACOMPLEX marketplace puts all of this in one free place for Bangalore, next to our rent and buy homes portal.
What you can find or post
- Room available: a spare room in your flat, with rent, deposit, room type and who you would like to share with.
- Looking for a room: tell people your budget, area and move-in date.
- Vacating, need a replacement: leaving a flat early? Find someone to take over your room or flat.
- Furniture: sofas, beds, wardrobes, dining tables and more.
- Appliances and electronics: fridges, washing machines, TVs, laptops and more.
- Other household items you no longer need.

Tips for a safe deal
- Visit the room or see the item in person before paying anything.
- Choose a public place for item hand-overs, and bring a friend if you can.
- Never share an OTP, bank PIN or card details with anyone.
- If you are taking over a room or flat, ask what is in the rental agreement. Our guides on the rental agreement and security deposit explain what to check.
- Report any post that looks fake.
