Vastu Shastra is a traditional Indian system of architecture and has been a part of the Indian culture for almost thousands of years. In fact, even today, many people consult Vastu experts before they buy, construct or move to a new property. 

Compliance with Vastu Shastra is now a major factor influencing the decisions of both - home buyers and tenants. Here is everything a tenant should know about vastu before shifting to a rented house. 

Vastu doshas to look out for in a Rental Property            

Vastu doshas are flaws and deficiencies in the natural elements of a property. Here are some doshas to look out for before shifting to a rented property:

Past record of the property ​

Most people feel that if you want to have good mental health, you must verify the property's history. Any abnormal occurrence or turn of events is seen negatively by potential tenants. 

Ventilation of the property

It's usually preferable to have a residence that is well-lit and well-ventilated. These ensure that the right amount of energy flows into your home. 

Vibe of the property

Examine the property's ambiance. In a home, there are both positive and negative vibes, and modest changes can help restore the property's vibrancy. The residents' feelings when they live on the grounds determine the property's mood. Simply by residing in a specific property, you may experience bad feelings. 

Preferable locations

Homes located near high-traffic areas, a cemetery, a power plant, or electric poles are not recommended. While you may not have much of a chance to live in a quiet residential area in a city, look for a serene, positive environment around your leased apartment. 

Energy flow 

Do not rent a home that is close to a mobile or electric pole. It prevents energy from flowing freely. Perform a yagya, Ganesh puja, Navagraha pooja, or any ritual to clear negative energy before shifting there. Use positive-energy wall hangings such as wind chimes, crystals, yantras, and other items recommended by a Vastu expert.

Minor position changes

Even in a rented property, make sure that the Vastu recommendations are followed. Even if you can't make structural alterations in your rental property, you can make simple adjustments to your sleeping position and furniture placement.

Main door position

A rental house with the main door towards the southeast is often seen to be unlucky in Vastu. It is preferable to avoid such residences in the first place. Any tree, power pole, or other substantial objects should not be blocking the main entryway of a rental house. In addition, according to Vastu, the door should be in a favourable position.

Easy Vastu tips ensuring peaceful Rented Home​

 To guarantee that your rental house is harmonious and tranquil for your family, you can attempt some extremely cost-effective measures. 

• Mop the floor with saltwater on a regular basis to keep it clean. 

• Make sure the rooms don't have any unpleasant odours. Incense, aromatic oils, and even dhoop can be beneficial. 

• Chants or soothing music will help to create a relaxing atmosphere. 

• Decorate your home with plants or flowers. 

• Keep only nice artwork and stay away from paintings that look to be perplexing. 

• A home that is clutter-free attracts positive energy. Make sure there are no cobwebs from time to time. 

• Make sure the clocks are constantly in functioning order. 

 Since in a rented house you cannot make the structural changes, we bring you the sacred solutions to imbibe positive energy and minimise the impacts of Vastu Doshas. 

 You can consider doing the following vedic upay (solutions): 

1. Consider preserving the Vastu purush idol, a silver snake, copper wire, pearl, and powla, as well as a Ganesh pooja, Navagrah shanti, and Vastu purush pooja. All of these objects should be placed in a red cloth with red dirt and maintained facing east.  

2. Make it a daily habit to worship at the house's entry, which should be decorated with Swastik and Shubh-Labh symbols, rice, and kum-kum. 

3. Navachandi yagya, shantipath, or agnihotra yagya may help you find calm in a rented property. 

4. A photograph or idol of Ganpati or Buddha will also give the place positive vibes.

Summing it up in simple tips to avoid negative energy 

Negative energy can manifest itself in the form of frequent quarrels, missed opportunities, recurrent failures, death, and extended illness. While medical assistance can help, your home should be free of severe Vastu doshas. After that, make sure your home is clean and clutter-free.
