"Grandfathered in" means that something was not available when someone signed the legal document, but it has become available now and that person is automatically assumed to be eligible for the thing that has been invented or has come into effect.

An example might be a contract stating that a renter must pay a security deposit to move in. Anyone already living in the apartments who might not have paid a deposit would be "grandfathered in" since they are already there.

What does 'grandfathered in' mean?

A "grandfather clause" or "grandfathered in" is an exception that allows an old rule to continue to apply to some existing situations, when a new rule will apply to all future situations. Often, such a provision is used as a compromise, to effect new rules without upsetting a well-established logistical or political situation. This extends the idea of a rule not being retroactively applied.Example: Michigan law MI ST 287.1101-1123 forbade ownership or acquisition of large and dangerous exotic carnivores as pets. But animals already owned as pets at the time of enactment were grandfathered in, and permitted to be kept Source: Wikipedia
