Sneha Tamhankar posted on X about the 'biggest Bangalore rent scam', claiming many tenants accept large security deposits without knowing the legal limit.
Tamhankar said she just learned the legal deposit amount for rentals is two months, while brokers often charge more.
Social media users debated whether the legal limit is followed, with some saying negotiation matters and landlords face risks like unpaid rent or property damage.
