A software developer in Bengaluru faced a sudden increase of Rs 15,000 in his monthly rent, pushing it to Rs 57,000 for a 3-BHK flat.
Despite the significant increase, the developer and his two colleagues decided to stay due to the challenges of finding alternative housing close to their workplace and avoiding traffic.
Finding the current flat took them a month, and they had invested in furnishing it, making the process of relocating again undesirable.
