I feel like I would really struggle as a landlord. I would feel so deeply uncomfortable accepting payments from people. Sure, it's a really good way to make money and sure, people would expect me to collect rent every month, but that doesn't mean I would like it!
I would just want everyone to stay at my place rent-free like one big long, never-ending sleepover but alas, that's not how the world works!
Given it was such unprecedented times and practically everyone seemed to be laid off, it was a lovely gesture and one that surely saved a lot of people from ending up on the streets.
Look, I get it — at the end of the day it's a business, and these landlords have bills to pay and money to make. They can't just be giving out free rent all the time.
One woman shared how her landlord made her spirits bright by sending her a text letting her know that she was taking $200 off their rent payment.
"Spoil those babies, buy a few extra sides for Thanksgiving or just reduce some financial stress. We know it's not much but wanted to show some appreciation to the both of you!!!"
People on Twitter couldn't believe the generosity. I think we all know the feeling of having to pinch pennies, especially around this time of year.
What a thoughtful, wonderful gesture!
