5 Everyday habits landlords do while renting that invite Vastu Doshas (And how to fix them)

When you rent out a house, you're not simply giving someone the keys; you're giving them energy. Vastu Shastra says that the way and time a home is rented out can affect everything from how much money is paid to how peaceful the stay is.

Landlords often make small mistakes that change the energy of the house without even realizing it. These faults can cause Vastu Doshas . These doshas can cause stress, fights, government issues related to taxation, issue with regards to civil infrastructure or income delays.

Let's look at five extremely common practices that can be simply changed to make renting go more smoothly.

Handing Over a Dirty or Unclean HomeOne of the most common mistakes landlords make is leaving the house dirty when they rent it out. People typically don't notice dust, spider webs, stains, or things left behind by former renters when they rent a place. From a Vastu point of view, though, this stops the normal flow of energy in the dwelling. A messy place has sluggish, bad energy that can make tenants unhappy and keep the owner from sleeping well.

Make sure the flooring, walls, bathrooms, and especially the entrance area are all clean before you give the house to someone else. A clean place not only brings in positive energy, but it also shows respect for the new people who will be living there and their first days there.

Leaving Broken Fixtures or Items UnrepairedLandlords often ignore little repairs because they expect the tenant will take care of them. But broken taps, flickering lights, fractured glass, or doors that won't open are more than simply things that need to be fixed; they are also Vastu warning signals. In Vastu, anything that is damaged means that energy is impeded or disrupted, which can cause money problems, communication problems, or even health problems for the people who live there.

Always check the property before giving it to someone else, and fix even the smallest problems. A property that works smoothly and has no damage sends out good vibes and makes for a smooth rental connection.

Raising Rent Unethically During the Agreement Term

Even if it's not a physical Vastu issue, how you act is closely tied to the energy of a room. Raising the rent in the middle of a lease without talking about it first or giving sufficient notice is not only unfair, but it also throws off the energy flow between the landlord and renter. Respect and fairness are very important in Vastu. If you mess with that equilibrium, you could get stress, money problems, or tenants that keep moving in and out.

Instead, be open from the start. If you need to raise the rent, do it in a polite and legal way with enough notice. Honesty keeps the house's energy pure and helpful for everyone.

Handover Without Turning on the Lights

Giving someone the keys to the house in the dark is another little but important blunder. Landlords often show up late or immediately give you the keys without checking the lights. Vastu says that darkness is a sign of blocked or dull energy. It makes things less positive and can make the new renter feel heavy emotionally.

Before giving someone the keys, an easy fix is to turn on all the main lights, especially in the kitchen, living room, and entrance. Light gives vitality, and a home that is well-lit right away feels warm and friendly.

Handing Over the Keys at Night

Even anything as simple as giving someone keys is affected by timing. A lot of landlords finish renting out their properties late at night because they are busy. Vastu, on the other hand, says that giving someone a property at night is bad luck. Nighttime is a time of endings, whereas the morning and afternoon are times of new beginnings that are fresh, vibrant, and in line with them.

Plan handovers for the early half of the day whenever you can. If that's not possible, try to avoid times after sunset. A morning handover fills the place with good energy and sets the tenant up for a great stay.

Being thoughtful, honest, and polite during the renting process can really change the mood of the place. If you fix these five simple habits, they can help you prevent Vastu Doshas and have happy, long-term rental relationships.
