Is it okay to rent a house to a pregnant person?
A few days ago, my next-door neighbor Xiaofang complained to Sister Xingyun: When she was pregnant, her husband had not bought a house yet, so she could only rent a house. As a result, most landlords in her hometown were unwilling to rent houses to pregnant women. , thinking that it would take away wealth and be unlucky, so I spent a lot of time looking for a house, and finally managed to rent a decent house after spending a lot of money. Is this really the case? 1. Bao Ma Message Board
@张张 Mama: We also have this saying over there. The landlord insists on "renting to a dead person rather than a living person" and would rather rent the house to a dead person than to a pregnant woman. Mom, I heard that this was unlucky and I was really speechless...
@小李飞刀: It’s the same over there. My grandma said it was because women in the past had their babies delivered at home by stable mothers. , and there will definitely be blood. Some people think that this will bring bad luck and lead to bad feng shui, so it is stipulated that children cannot be born in the house. Later, it gradually evolved into not accepting pregnant women.
@奇奇: The reason why we cannot accept pregnant women is because we think that the children in the pregnant women’s bellies will take away the prosperity, wealth and blessings in the house, and the welfare that originally belonged to the landlord’s family will be taken away. The future will not be easy, so pregnant women will be refused rental accommodation.

I believe there are many folk rumors about this. Many landlords prefer not to rent their houses to pregnant women because they prefer to believe what they have or not. However, these are feudal superstitions after all and cannot be taken seriously.
Second, from a scientific perspective, why are landlords afraid of pregnant mothers moving in?
1. Fear of trouble
Pregnant mothers are a relatively special group of people. They are relatively fragile during pregnancy. Accidents may occur with the slightest bump in the road, especially in the third trimester of pregnancy. Pregnant mothers who are about to give birth may have unexpected accidents at any time. If something happens to them in a rental house, although from a legal point of view, these have nothing to do with the landlord, but if they encounter irrational family members, it may really be the case. "When a scholar meets a soldier, there is no explanation." In order to avoid all kinds of troubles in the future, some landlords will be more taboo about the tenant's pregnancy. This is actually a human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
2. The landlord has a guilty conscience
Nowadays, in order to make profits, many landlords start renting out new houses soon after they have been renovated. The formaldehyde and other toxic substances in them have not been completely dissipated, and pregnant women are often exposed to these. Things, the probability of fetal malformation and miscarriage in the future is relatively high. In addition, the decoration of some rental houses is not up to standard, and pregnant women are no more taboo than ordinary people. If you are not careful, accidents may occur. If this is the case, the landlord may face compensation. Landlords are generally unwilling to do this kind of loss-making business. Do.
3. Fear of disturbing other people
During pregnancy, the mother's physical and psychological changes will undergo earth-shaking changes. At this time, her work and rest patterns and living habits will inevitably be different from those of ordinary people. The difference is that if it disturbs others, it will easily cause public outrage and it will be more difficult for the landlord to do so.
The most noteworthy thing is that pregnant mothers will be in confinement after giving birth. At that time, there will be more rules and taboos. Coupled with the crying of the child, the relationship between tenants will become difficult. It's harder to coordinate, so landlords tend to avoid renting to pregnant women.
