“My landlord bought me dinner today. This is a beautiful moment for me and I wanted to share what a nice guy my owner is. He is over 65 years old and I have been living in his building for 5 years. Today he showed up at my door with a parcel and said he bought me dinner. I couldn’t stop smiling,” wrote the Reddit user.

How did Reddit users react to this post about a landlord in Bengaluru?
“Meanwhile, my landlord raises the rent every year,” one person wrote. Another Reddit user responded, “Meanwhile, my landlord checks our income at renewal, assesses our bank accounts, takes weeks to make major repairs, and then raises the rent for the next family by $800 when we finally move out.”
A third person added, “I have a landlord who hasn’t increased the rent since 2012.” A fourth person wrote, “This is so sweet! My landlady offered to help me and my friends unpack and send us lunch when we moved in in 2016. Luckily, the chef in the previous house had prepared a huge box of biryani for us. The rent has been renegotiated at least twice in the last 8 years, so we are not embarrassed, even though it has always been a 5-7% increase per year.”
