More than the owners so call "agents' are playing vital role, indeed they are the real reason for the hike.... unless government authorities Involve, this will become worse in the future. Despite having so much of villas and apartments unoccupied the rent does not seem to be going down nor to a decent value I dont understand this, what the agents offering not value for the money. Although there is a rule for partition, the sub agents still making the partition to their own benefit by Ignoring the safety and healthy environments. I have been looking for BHK and over the last months I have seen more than 100 villas, found not a single villa without a partition and not even properly made to stay, It does not give good feeling when looked at it but disgusting.
