Reddit has become a virtual dumping ground for tenants' tales of landlord woes. From unresponsive property managers to exorbitant rent hikes, the platform is flooded with horror stories. Yet, amidst the sea of complaints, a rare gem occasionally shines through. A recent post by a tenant praising his landlord's exceptional behaviour took Reddit by surprise. The heartwarming account has garnered widespread attention and sparked discussions about the importance of good landlords.
“My landlord bought me dinner today. This is a wholesome moment for me and I wanted to share how much of a good guy (sic) my owner is. He's 65+ years old and I have been staying in his building for the last 5 years. Today, he showed up at my door just now with a parcel and said he bought me dinner. I couldn't stop smiling,” the Reddit user wrote. He shared a few more things about his Bengaluru landlord in the following line.

My landlady offered to help me and my friends unpack and offered to send us lunch when we first moved in back in 2016. Fortunately, the previous house's cook had prepared a huge box of biryani for us. Rent was negotiated at least twice during the last 8 years so that it doesn't put us in a tough spot, although it was always 5-7% increase p.a.”
