John has been showing love to his tenants before now
Kenneth however revealed that the landlord didn't just start out being kind but has been showing kindness to tenants since he moved in.
According to Kenneth, the landlord gives tenants gifts every Christmas and had one time reduced the house rent by Ksh 3k (N10k) due to a bad service road leading to the house.
The excited tenant, while describing the landlord as a good man, said he had only met him about 5 times despite being in the house for 6 years.
"Just a good man generally. Should be in public service.
"During COVID he gave us a 30 percent off for 1 year.
"He then reduced the rent by 3k because of a bad service road leading to the house.
"Now this. Very in touch with reality," he wrote.
His tweet blew on the platform, receiving over 24k engagements as of the time of making this report.

"My landlord didn't increase my rent, I really applaud him for being considerate & showing empathy (during this difficult times) cos almost every lessor in my area significantly increased rents. Although I had he increased the rents of few tenants, not mine though. I thank God."
@ElSirdeeq99 said:
"Can never be Nigerian landlords.
"They'll be like, "Due the to the economic hardship & inflation we're facing in the country, we hereby increase your rent from xxxxx to xxxxxx. This is to enable us serve you better."

Man receives an outrageous letter from landlord after a Facebook post he made
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian man had shared the outrageous letter he got from his landlord following a post he made on Facebook.
In the letter he shared, which was sent by his landlord's lawyers, Olumide was notified that the rent for his 2 bedroom flat had increased from N450,000 to N550,000. And the new increment was excluding security and cleaners' salaries, the letter noted.
The stunned tenant identified as Olumide said he rather would laugh about the development. He wrote:
"I made a post about Lanlords this week and I got this memo from my Landlord tonight.
"This is too outrageous to get me angry. I'd rather laugh about it.
"Canada ti ya o."
