Martha Wanjiru, a compassionate landlady from Ongata Rongai, has continued her heartwarming tradition of waiving January rent for her tenants.
This annual gesture, aimed at alleviating financial pressures, has garnered her widespread praise and deep appreciation from both her tenants and the wider community.
In a TikTok video, Wanjiru shared the inspiration behind her decision, emphasizing her desire to support families during the financially demanding start of the year.
“To all my Kenyan tenants, happy New Year 2025, may it be filled with blessings and as you celebrate the New Year, no payment of the January rent. So, celebrate to the fullest, take your children back to school,” she said.
She also expressed gratitude for her tenants, commending their exemplary behavior and timely rent payments throughout the year.
Wanjiru urged her tenants to channel the saved money toward their families or other meaningful needs, framing it as her gift to them.
“Use the rent money you were to pay me to take care of your kids, and if you do not have children, use it for your family or anything you want. We bless you with that money. Thank you so much for being wonderful tenants. We wish you all the best, and if you are blessed, remember to also bless others,” she added.
Her act of generosity has cemented her reputation as not just a landlady but a community pillar, inspiring many to pay kindness forward.
