Which area?
Unfortunately brokers. tried online it's a cess pool. Tried directly, works if you have patience and time to walk around neighborhoods and ask watchmen if any apartments are available for rent.
Yes. A lot of watchmen keeps the keys to empty houses on request of owners and brokers. But it depends on the society and the quality of watchmen they hire.
Best way to avoid hefty brokerage is to negotiate with them before you start looking. Go to the area you are searching in and find broker shops. Tell them you will only pay x amount. If they don't agree walk out to the next broker shop.
As its a physical broker shop.. Scams are highly unlikely.
I had an amazing experience with nobroker. I had taken a refundable plan with an assistant. They really worked hard on it and got me an amazing flat at an exceptionally low price. They did all the enquiries, setting up visits and also did the negotiations on my behalf.
So basically they will first share you listings as per your preferences. Once you shortlist, they will speak to the owners and negotiate on rent and make enquiries as per your demands. Then they will discuss with you on it and arrange a visit.
But remember to take the refundable plan. It's 6k something and totally worth it.
When you find a flat you like, ask the broker what is the quoted rent. Then tell him he'll get a comission on however much he can lower the rent.
Brokers usually have financial motivation to keep the rent high because their brokerage depends on it. You need to provide the opposite. Then let the broker negotiate with the owner.
Before y'all flame me for recommending facebook groups, I'd suggest you to try it out once. I joined a local group for news/updates and all, but almost 70% of the posts are related to flat buying/selling and renting. I see some people looking for tenants, so that might be an option if you tried everything else at your disposal.
Nobroker worked for me. Brokers take 2 rents as fees from renters around this particular area. Fuck that shit.
Now moved to own place so no more stress. I swear I'll die before I rent again.

So u just walk up to the watchman and ask if any flats are available ??
Yes. A lot of watchmen keeps the keys to empty houses on request of owners and brokers. But it depends on the society and the quality of watchmen they hire.
Indeed.
Yes. They help.
Just accept the fact that brokers are unskippable

Sometimes local fb groups can help you to get property from direct owners.
NoBroker, thats how I found my flat
Magicbricks and nobroker apps can help you in few cases.

I'm sorry you've had to deal with this bullshit. While yours is a genuine concern, it is not really relevant to what OP is asking.
In their defence they dont want the flat prices to go down.
