Late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s luxurious rental flat has been kept vacant and empty for the past 2.5 years. While it was earlier reported that since the actor died in the flat no one is willing to take the flat on rent. Opening up on the same real estate agent Rafique Merchant revealed the reason why exactly Sushant’s rented flat is not getting any takers. Rafique recently shared a video of the actor’s sea-facing flat and stated that the flat is available for rent at ₹5 lakh per month.
Talking about the reason why the flat is not finding any takers Rafique Merchant told Bollywood Hungama, “People are scared to move into this flat. When prospective tenants would hear that this is the same apartment where he died, they would not even visit the flat. Nowadays, people are at least visiting the flat as the news of his death has become old. Yet, the deal is not getting finalized. The owner is also hell-bent and doesn’t want to come down on the rent. If he does, it’ll be sold quickly. Since he’s selling it at the market price, tenants prefer buying some other flat of a similar size in the same area since it would come without the baggage of controversy that this flat is associated with.”
The agent further revealed that the flat owner has decided not to rent the flat to any celebrity again, “The parties are told in advance that this is where Sushant used to stay. Some people don’t mind the history and want to go for it. But their friends and family members discourage them from going ahead with the deal. Now the owner doesn’t want to rent out the flat to a film celeb, no matter who or how big he or she is. He’s clear that he wants to hand over the flat to a corporate person,”
Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput paid around 4.5Lakh per month as rent for his luxurious flat. He resided with his girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty in the house. The actor was found dead hanging in his apartment on June 14, 2020.
