Apr 23, 2026 · 4 min read

Chennai's rental market is driven by IT, auto, and manufacturing sectors. Finding a room without a broker is now possible with zero-brokerage platforms like Spaczo.

The Brokerage Problem in Chennai

Chennai brokers typically charge 1 month's rent as commission. For a ₹15,000/month flat in Velachery, that's ₹15,000 straight to the broker. Spaczo shows you only owner-direct listings.
