Handwriting a message to two tenants who had struggled with employment in the latter half of 2015, the landlord tells them he will waive their December rent entirely, allowing them to enjoy Christmas a little easier.

‘I know you guys have been having trouble being between jobs these past few months and I just wanted to thank you for always being current on the rent.

‘So my gift for you and yours is that I’m waiving your December rent so you can give your family a good decent Christmas this year.

‘We’ll just pick it back up in January.

‘Merry Christmas.’

Despite the heartwarming message of this letter, savvy Reddit users were quick to suggest the post might not be real, and could just be a fake story.

If it is real though, well done that man, and what a lovely way to embrace the Christmas sprit!
