@ Mama Zhang: We also have this saying over there. The landlord insisted on "renting the dead instead of students", preferring to rent the house to the dead rather than to the pregnant mother. I'm really speechless when I hear that it's unlucky. ...
@ Trail: We are the same here. According to my grandmother, in the past, women always found a stable woman to deliver their children at home, which was sure to see 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. Then it gradually evolved into an unacceptable pregnant woman.
@ Qiqi: The reason why we can't accept pregnant women there is because we think that the children in pregnant women's bellies will take away the wealth and blessings in the house, and the well-being that originally belonged to the landlord's family will also be taken away. The future will not be so good, so we will refuse pregnant women to rent a house.
……
On this point, I believe there are still many rumors among the people. Many landlords hold the idea that they would rather believe what they believe than what they don't, and don't rent their houses to pregnant women, but these are feudal superstitions after all and can't be taken seriously.
Second, from a scientific point of view, why are landlords afraid of pregnant mothers?
1, afraid of trouble
Pregnant mothers are a special group, and they are vulnerable during pregnancy. Accidents may happen when you bump into each other, especially in the third trimester, when you are about to give birth. Accidents in rental housing, although from a legal point of view, have nothing to do with the landlord, but encountering irrational family members may really be "a scholar meets a soldier and is unreasonable." In order to avoid follow-up.
2. The landlord has a guilty conscience
Now, in order to make a profit, many landlords have just renovated their new houses and started renting them out. Toxic substances such as formaldehyde have not been completely discharged. Pregnant women often come into contact with these things, and the probability of fetal malformation and miscarriage is relatively high in the future. In addition, some rented houses are not up to standard, and pregnant women are more taboo than ordinary people. If they are not careful, an accident may happen. If so, the landlord may face compensation. This kind of loss-making business is generally unwilling to do.
3. Afraid of disturbing others
During pregnancy, the physiological and psychological changes of pregnant mothers will be earth-shaking. The lifestyle and habits at this time must be different from ordinary people. If you disturb others, it is easy to cause public anger, and it is even harder for the landlord to do it.
Most notably, pregnant mothers will be confined after giving birth to their children. At that time, there were many rules and taboos. Coupled with the crying of children, the relationship between tenants is more difficult to coordinate, so landlords often avoid renting houses to pregnant women.
