Renta congelada

Renta congelada (English title: Rent Freeze) is a Mexican sitcom created and produced by Pedro Ortiz de Pinedo for TelevisaUnivision. The series premiered on Las Estrellas on August 31, 2017. It stars Rodrigo Murray, Juan Diego Covarrubias, Regina Blandón, and Patricia Manterola. The series revolves around the life of two couples totally opposed to each other, who by chance are forced to live under the same roof. The series has been renewed for a fifth season, which premiered on 20 April 2023.

Season 1
The series begins when newly married vegan hipsters, Ana (Regina Blandón) and Fernando (Juan Diego Covarrubias), rent a house at a low price. However, they are surprised to discover a couple in their forties, Delia (Patricia Manterola) and Federico (Rodrigo Murray), already living in the house, and who claim to have signed the same lease for five years. Both couples are right, because the elderly owner, who suffers from Alzheimer's, signed both contracts just before dying, so legally both couples have the same rights. This mistake happened because of the similarity in Federico and Fernando's names. Each couple hope that the other will grow tired of the arrangement and leave, but since no one will go, they will be forced to live together for five years.

Season 2
Delia and Federico, and Ana and Fernando must put aside their fight to get the others out of the house and work together to raise 500 thousand pesos in less than three months to pay a debt that the former owner inherited, and to be able to free the mortgage to keep the house.

Season 3
After Fernando is tricked by Federico and his best friend Luis Alberto to go look for Ana who seems to be lost, new comers rent the house. This is because Luis Alberto tricked Fernando into singing papers to leave him in charge of his finances. Luis Alberto rents the house to a couple for a 1 year lease. Sam, a woman with extreme needs of cleanliness and hygiene, and Nico, an extreme cheapskate who will do anything to save a buck. Luis Alberto allies himself with Nico and Sam to kick Federico and Delia out.

Season 4
Ana returns home and wants to take Fernando to Brunei, but he decides to stay. Luis Alberto comes to live as Fernando's roomie. Ana asks Fernando for a divorce, making him feel heartbroken and depressed, but soon falls in love with a drugstore clerk named Lucía. Meanwhile, Federico and Delia decide to become parents by adopting Tommy.
