Reduce Brokerage by up to 95%: How STAYN Saves You Thousands
Complete guide to cutting rental brokerage in India — how STAYN works, how much you save, and why a flat fee beats sky-high broker commissions.
The Problem with Traditional Rental Brokers in India
If you've ever rented a home in India, you know the drill. You find a property through a broker, and suddenly you're paying 1-2 months' rent as brokerage — from both sides. For a ₹25,000/month apartment, that's ₹25,000-50,000 out of your pocket. For the landlord? Another ₹25,000-50,000.
The Indian rental market is estimated at over $20 billion, with millions of transactions happening every year. Yet most of these transactions still involve middlemen taking a significant cut. With 27.37 million rented households in India (80% in urban areas), the total brokerage paid annually runs into thousands of crores.
How STAYN Reduces Brokerage by up to 95%
Instead of charging 1-2 months' rent as commission, STAYN replaces brokerage with two flat, transparent fees: owners pay ₹1,499 and tenants pay ₹999. On a typical tenancy, that cuts the total brokerage cost by up to 95%— with no hidden "registration charges" on top.
Low-brokerage renting has gained massive traction in India, led by platforms like NoBroker (16M+ users, valued at ₹7,850Cr). STAYN takes this further by adding managed visit coordination and relocation assistance through STAYN Rental Access.

| ₹25,000 | ₹25,000 | ₹999 | ₹24,001 (96%) |
| ₹40,000 | ₹40,000 | ₹999 | ₹39,001 (97%) |
| ₹60,000 | ₹60,000 | ₹999 | ₹59,001 (98%) |
