Mumbai Landlady Allegedly Rejects Tenant Due to Numerology Compatibility
A prospective tenant was allegedly rejected for a rental apartment in Mumbai after her landlady determined that her numerology number did not compatibly match the property. The incident came to light after Mumbai-based artist and influencer Vagmita Singh shared a video detailing her friend’s experience, sparking a wider online debate about the role of personal beliefs and superstitions in the city’s rental market.
According to the video posted by Singh, her unnamed friend had scheduled a meeting with the landlady to inspect the rental apartment. Singh described the property owner as an educated and well-presented individual, which made the subsequent rejection unexpected for the home seeker.
During the flat visit, the landlady reportedly asked the prospective tenant, “What’s your number?” While the friend initially assumed the landlady was asking for her contact details, the owner clarified that she was referring to her numerology number, which is calculated using a person’s date of birth.
After comparing the numbers, the landlady stated that the apartment was connected to the number four. Because the prospective tenant’s numerology number was seven, the landlady allegedly claimed the combination was unfavorable and refused to proceed with the rental agreement.
Singh expressed surprise and confusion over the decision in her video, humorously questioning how to describe the situation. The video quickly gained traction online, drawing various reactions from social media users who discussed the challenges of finding accommodation in Mumbai.
The incident triggered a mix of responses, with some users joking about the situation and others debating the validity of the numerology logic. Some commentators pointed out that in certain beliefs, the combination of the numbers four and seven is actually considered a strong and positive pairing.
One social media user playfully referred to astrological beliefs, joking that the landlord missed out on a perfect tenant. Another user remarked on the state of the city’s housing search, writing that some landlords in Mumbai seem to have highly unusual preferences when selecting tenants.
