Renting Out Your Flat in Bangalore Without a Broker: What You Can Do Yourself (2026)

What a broker usually does for the fee

Lists your flat and answers the first calls.
Shows the flat to visitors.
Brings you a tenant and negotiates the rent.
Arranges the agreement and move-in.

Brokerage in Bangalore is often around one month’s rent, but it varies, so ask before you agree. Every one of these steps can be done directly if you have a little time.

Your own plan, step by step

List the flat free. On APKACOMPLEX Homes it costs nothing to list, the listing stays live for 45 days and renewal is free.
Show it to serious people only. Reply to enquiries from your account and keep your viewing times fixed.
Check the tenant. Ask for ID and proof of work, and run a court record check, which is ₹450 on APKACOMPLEX.
Sign an agreement. An online agreement from our rental agreement service is ₹600 plus GST.
Inform the police as required in your area, take the deposit and note the flat’s condition at move-in.

What it costs

Listing: ₹0. Court record check: ₹450. Rental agreement: ₹600 plus GST. That is about ₹1,050 plus GST on the agreement, compared with a broker’s fee that is often around a month’s rent. Your own time is the real cost, so be honest about how much of it you have.

Make your listing work

Use clear photos taken in daylight and show each room.
State the rent, deposit, furnishing and when the flat is available.
Name the society and the nearest landmark so searchers can place it.
Our team reviews each listing before it goes live, and a flat our team has visited gets a green Visited seal.

When help is worth paying for

Consider a managed service if

You live abroad or in another city, you do not have time to show the flat, you own more than one flat, or you want someone to handle rent follow-up and move-out. APKACOMPLEX offers rental management for owners in apartment communities, so you can do the parts you like and hand over the rest.

Whichever route you choose, get everything in writing. See what to do if a tenant does not vacate before you need it.
