Kind-Hearted Kenyan Landlady Waives January Rent for Her Tenants

A Kenyan landlady has wowed Kenyans on social media after making a generous decision to waive rent for her tenants in January 2023.

In a viral video, the landlady identified as Martha Wanjiru thanked her tenants for their support over the years and explained how they have helped her business.

“We have lived together for many years, always pass each other on the stairs and yet we don’t know each other,” the landlady said during a Christmas party she organized for her tenants.

She added: “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. We passed through the very difficult season of Corona, went up then came down and God helped us go through all that.”

Wanjiru, who reportedly owns rental houses in Ongata Rongai, went on to announce her decision to waive rent for January, saying the move was a way of thanking her tenants for their support.

“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. We have a very good relationship and it was time to appreciate you. I never take money to church, you are my church,” she added.

Her tenants were thrilled by her gesture kind gesture, with social media users joining in to praise the landlady.

 “Wow! Such a lovely Godly gift. You’re such a wonderful person. You’ve a heart for giving, not because of a show-off, but it’s in you. You’re truly blessed among blessed. God grant you countless blessed years,” a user said.
