Start with the label
A single contribution is labelled reported rent. It is one tenant’s first-hand report, not a market average. Once two or more matching reports exist, Rentnama can show a median: the middle rent after the values are put in order.
The range shows the lowest and highest matching reports. It tells you whether homes in that group cluster closely or vary widely.
Carry the context with the number
Read the report count, home type, furnishing, deposit and date beside the rent. A ₹30,000 figure backed by one older report means something different from the same figure backed by twelve recent reports.
If you quote or share a Rentnama figure, carry its report count and date with it. The number is not a complete claim without them.
Compare like with like
Begin with the same home type and furnishing. Then compare the building with similar homes nearby. A furnished 2 BHK and an unfurnished 2 BHK are useful pieces of evidence, but they are not interchangeable. Small differences can also be ordinary variation rather than a meaningful price gap.
