A Kenyan landlady has wowed her tenants after she revealed to them her decision to waive January rent.
In an undated viral video, the yet-to-be-identified lady was recorded addressing her tenants at a meeting she convened to thank them for their support.
“We have lived together for many years, always pass each other on the stairs and yet we don’t know each other,” she said in the video shared widely.
She went on to explain how the tenants have been helpful to her business saying that were it not for them things would not have been the same.
“I am very thankful because without you people we wouldn’t be here. There are no landlords without tenants. Having houses with no one to rent them is all in vain,” she said
“We passed through the very difficult season of Corona, went up then came down and God helped us go through all that.”
The lady went on to break the good news to her tenants of waiving rent saying the move was necessitated by the urge to reciprocate their kind gesture.
“As you eat here, don’t worry about January, nimewaachia rent. I know you have school fees and some of us have other things waiting for us,” she explained.
Adding that:
“We have a very good relationship and it was time to appreciate you. Mimi sipelekangi pesa kanisa , nyinyi ndio kanisa yangu, ( I never take money to church, you are my church).”
Her tenants celebrated the unexpected decision lauding her for the kind gesture.
