The Couple Renting a Home close to their Parents. But not too Close | The Tenant

In this episode of The Tenant, meet Sumeet and Preeti, a family of three living in a 2BHK apartment of 650 sq ft in Mumbai. Although they own their own home, they chose to rent here to stay close to their parents, who live just a few floors above. They share their daily Mumbai commute of 1.5 hours, managing work without WFH, and how their daughter is lovingly taken care of by grandparents. Learn about their decision to take an unfurnished 2BHK for more space, the rent and deposit details, and their approach to life—prioritizing experiences over things, like their 5th wedding anniversary trip to the Maldives. From packed local trains to choosing security and convenience, get a real glimpse into modern family living in Mumbai.
