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.

A third person added, “I have a landlord. Who hasn't hiked the rent since 2012.” A fourth wrote, “This is so sweet! 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.”
