The Old Mahabalipuram Road corridor is once again the hottest rental market in Chennai. With IT majors calling employees back to office and fresh hiring across Sholinganallur, Thoraipakkam and Siruseri, two-bedroom flats that listed at Rs 18,000 a year ago now routinely close at Rs 22,000 and above.
Landlords report multiple enquiries within hours of posting. Brokers along the corridor say vacancy periods have shrunk from weeks to days.
What it means for tenants: start your search early, keep documents ready, and be prepared to decide quickly. What it means for owners: well-maintained flats near tech parks are commanding premiums of 10 to 15 percent over last year.
