Lucky! I did this for 14 years and they tried to charge me for the carpet when I left.
What the hell is this shit. Landlord propaganda? Give me a break.
ill take things that never happened for $600 Alex.
If they can afford that, why not just reduce the rent.
Its just a tweet. Some letters on the internet. Its the same as reading letters on a bathroom-stall.
The chance of it being true is….extremely small. If it is through, its quite weird to brag about it on the internet.
Maybe im an old cynical bastard, but a fucking tweet doesnt make me smile. A good bathroom-stall-joke on the other hand. That makes me smile!
I once had a landlord who offered single parents lower rates on multiple bedroom units. We lived in a college town where most places rented by the room, because mostly they rented to students. It was a godsend, and at one point there was a row of single moms with similarly aged kids and we all kind of helped each other out. It was a beautiful moment in time.
Landlord here, we actually have done this and the reason is it lowers our income for the year. We try to break even on earned income vs expenses so we don’t owe taxes.
The first time I saw this was coincidentally right when my husband and I received a month free of rent, but they never told us why they did it. Just returned our rent payment each time we tried to pay.
Damn, she must not have a mortgage or have minimal expenses on the property to be able to do this. The first like decade + of landlording, there is minimal profit and tons of unseen expenses that the tenant isn’t aware of.
Wow yep and make sure you post about it so everybody knows
ALAB. If you can afford your tenant skipping a month then you should be dropping the rent by 1/12 (at least)
Some people are goofy. You want more people to do nice things like this, but when they do, you don’t like it and say they’re lying? Or call this “landlord propaganda”?
“If they could afford this, why not just lower the rent?”
Almost a good question, except it really isnt. If you could give money to one homeless person, why not give money to all homeless people?
landlords are the scalpers of basic human needs.
Just for the likes online LMAO
Lol as if you were less than a parasite and a leech as a landlord even by doing that.

I really want this to be true.
There renters unions in Europe to make sure landlords behave this way.

My husband has a condo he rents out from before we met. He hasn’t raised rent on his tenants since 2019 because they are just good responsible people. Pretty sure the average rent for the place is at least 1500$ more than they pay now. But we don’t care because we aren’t trying to live off of them.
Not all landlords are bad or greedy
I have a lodger who’s joining the navy and has to undergo 10 weeks of training, so the room he rents will be unused for 10 weeks, so I said to him every week he’s away, I’ll refund £25 a week off the rent he pays, for each full week he’s away.
Doesn’t seem fair or right to charge full rent when he’s not here.
I’ve been paying on time for nearly 10 years, almost 225,000$ in rent, the unit is always spotless, and I’ve maintained it quite well.
If I were to leave with 50$ worth of repairs to be done, the property owner would try and charge me for it.
Rent is extortion.
Such a nice thing they felt the need to share it on social media so everyone could pat them on the back
I find this hard to believe.
Peak fiction.

That’s a f lie
That’s lovely 💙
Generosity is great, but as a real estate broker, I’ve seen cases where breaking the lease terms like this can cause unintended issues. If you choose to do something like this, it’s best to document it properly to avoid any misunderstandings down the road.
„My contractual partner has kept her contractual obligations. This deserves a reward.“
It‘s a nice thing to do, but I disagree with the part arguing she „deserves“ that.
No. For meeting her end of the contract, she deserves to get what the contract states – which is getting to live in the apartment. That‘s how contracts and deserving something works.
No post by a landlord will ever “make me smile.” Fuck landlords, all of them.
how does she know its clean? is it common to visit your tenants to check on them? thats creepy lol
Give her the property instead and get yourself a job
☝️awesome
This is how you build goodwill and long-term trust! More landlords should take notes.
It’s February! Little early for Xmas don’t you think 🤔 lol
Holy shit these people exist?
LoL. She’s so nice.. took out a loan (that she gets to claim on her expenses) to buy real estate to rent out to a tenant (who can’t claim it on their taxes) & is being nice about it. So many smiles.
Hey look! A landlord that does just blow all of her rent profit and then complain that their renter isn’t paying their bills when they get broke. Never thought I would see it.
And after Christmas , I’m going to raise rent by 300$!!! SURPRISE!
No good deed goes unpunished.
That is very sweet!
Man I’ve never been late, actually paid early, I fix most of the problems for the landlord and this mf still be raising my rent every year. Idc if youre a good one, mine sucks
This reads like a LinkedIn Lunatic post.
Rebecca strikes again
Holy s*it thats really awesome…You are an angel.
Said literally no landlord, ever.
And this is on twitter because of?
Fuck landlords.
I would cry, I need a fucking break so much bro
