Why House Rent exists

Renting in India runs on information asymmetry. The broker quotes ₹40,000 because they can; your neighbour in the same building pays ₹28,000. Nobody publishes what tenants actually pay — listing sites publish asking prices, which is exactly the number the middleman wants you to see.

House Rent is a free, anonymous map of real rents. Renters drop a pin with what they actually pay — 20 seconds, no login, no app. Owners list flats directly, and seekers drop a pin with their budget to get matched by email. There is no broker anywhere in the chain and no fee for anyone.

Two promises we don't break: every pin is real (cities launch empty and fill only with user-contributed data — we never fabricate or import scraped numbers), and contributors stay anonymous (no accounts, no names, approximate locations only).
