Rent by size
Numbers after each rent are how many renters reported that size. Sizes without enough reports in an area show “—”.
What else renters report
Flooding is renter-reported and unverified, shown as a count (not a rate) because it is street-level while this is a whole area. Deposit and water are from the renters who answered those questions.
Questions to ask before you rent in either area
- • Ask the actual rent and deposit for the specific flat — these medians are a negotiating anchor, not a quote.
- • Confirm the water source and how reliable supply is in summer, when Chennai is tightest.
- • Ask neighbours or the watchman whether that street has flooded, and when — flooding is street-level, not area-wide.
- • Check the real door-to-door commute to your workplace, not just the distance to the nearest station.
- • Verify what the deposit covers and the notice period in writing before you commit.
Methodology & limitations
Every figure is reported by renters living in each area, aggregated into a median once a size has at least five reports. Samples are small, so a median is a starting point for negotiation, not a precise market rate. Numbers are self-reported and unverified, exact locations are blurred to ~100m, and older reports are still counted (their age is noted on each area page). Full methodology →
