It's been 2.5 years since Sushant Singh Rajput breathed his last. The actor was found hanging from the ceiling fan at his apartment in Bandra on June 14, 2020. For almost a year, the CBI as well as the NCB investigated the case and the involvement of drugs in the entire matter. Now, even as the case has settled down, the apartment in which Sushant resided hasn't found its new resident.
A few days ago, real estate broker, Rafique Merchant, shared a clip of Sushant's sea-facing flat in Mont Blanc and informed that it is available for rent at Rs. 5 lacs per month. He shared the video on his social media platforms in anticipation of finding a new tenant. Reportedly, the NRI owner of the flat is now not willing to rent it out to Bollywood celebrities after the entire case.

Talking to an entertainment portal about the flat, Rafique told, "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 finalised. 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."
He further added, "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."

According to reports, Sushant had leased the apartment for around Rs. 4.5 lacs per month since December 2019. Reportedly, he was living with his roommates and girlfriend, actress Rhea Chakraborty.
