Landlord goes above and beyond to ensure new tenant feels welcome

We often hear a few horror stories between landlords and tenants.

However, one US landlord has gone above and beyond to ensure their tenant “felt welcome” when they moved into the property this week.

Posting to the ALDI Aisle of Shame Community Facebook page, Sabrina Ricks Avery shared a series of photos of the epic care package she left in the kitchen.

Ms Avery ensured the fridge and pantry were fully stocked with breakfast, lunch and dinner items, as well as snacks, not to mention a few cleaning essentials and luxury gifts.

Food essentials including bread, eggs, milk and juice were bought, along with treats such as croissants, chocolates, muffins and a bottle of wine.

Paper towels, dishwashing tablets and detergent were also included in a large basket on the kitchen countertop.

Proving that she didn’t mind spending a little extra cash, Ms Avery purchased a cushion as well as a frame with the text “it’s so good to be home” emblazoned on the front.

Alongside the photos, Ms Avery wrote on Facebook: “I have a tenant moving into a home I own tomorrow and wanted her to feel welcome and start our landlord/renter relationship on the right foot and hope that by showing them care, they will want to care for the property.”

“Aldi all the way! I made sure there was food for breakfast, lunch and dinner so they don’t have to worry as they move in. And snacks.

“Also a basket full of necessities to make sure they have what they need as they move in. I’m so pleased with how it turned out.”

At time of publishing, the post had received more 66,000 likes and 2,700 shares.

Facebook users were blown away by the kind gesture, with comments including “this is the most considerate, thoughtful thing I’ve ever seen” and “the world needs more landlords like you”.
