About 33% more than a standalone building of the same size in the same area. The gap is bigger in some areas than others; each area page shows its own.

A fully furnished home typically rents for about 67% more than an unfurnished one of the same size in the same area; semi-furnished is about 25% more.

Often not, especially in gated societies, where maintenance is commonly quoted on top of rent. Always ask whether a quote is “inclusive” and get the split written into the agreement.

It varies widely by landlord and area, from a couple of months’ rent to as much as ten. A large deposit is negotiable, especially if you can show the rent itself is already at or above the area’s typical level. Whatever you agree, put the amount and the refund terms in the rental agreement.

Know the number first. If a quote is above the area’s typical rent for that size, say so and offer something closer to it. Quotes in the top 10% of an area are usually the easiest to bring down. Offering a longer lease or a quick move-in also helps.

Visit the flat before paying anything, including a “token”. Meet the owner, check their ID against the property papers, and pay to an account in their name. Be wary of a rent far below the area’s range; our checker flags anything under the usual low end.

No. FairRent has no listings, no broker leads and no paid placement, and it’s free to use. It only tells you what homes actually rent for.
