A "struggling" tenant has taken to social media to share the heartwarming note they received from their landlord.
With the ongoing pandemic keeping many families apart over the holidays, there's no doubt that Christmas in 2020 was a tough day for many of us.
However, one kind landlord has helped to make one person's Christmas - and the start of 2021 - that little bit easier.
Writing under the handle 'Neogalik' on Reddit, a person by the name of Chris took to the social media site to prove that there is still a lot of hope and good left in the world.
Chris captioned the post: "Didn’t get any gifts for Christmas except from my landlord. Has no idea I’ve been struggling lately."
The image Chris shared shows a Christmas card he had received from his landlord, Lee.
The card contained the generic message: "Season’s Greetings and best wishes for the coming year," but underneath, Lee had written:
"Chris, I figured the best Santa gift for you would be taking off half the January rent. So just pay $440 (around £328) at the end of this month. Lee."
The heartwarming post clearly struck a chord with many Redditors, as the post has received over 120,000 upvotes in less than 11 hours.
The post also received over 3,700 comments, with many other people sharing their own personal stories of kindness, as well as championing Lee's gesture.
Redditor 'tissboom' replied: "Our landlord gave us two months of rent half off right when the pandemic began. It was exactly what I needed because I just lost my job.
"This is why you rent from individuals and not huge companies. They can be a lot more understanding to your needs and circumstances."
A second, 'badvegas', added: "My old landlord did this for December rent so people could spend more on family.
"The guy was best landlord I had ever had since. Had a telephone pole fall on my house. He put me up in a hotel and 200 dollars for food while the roof got repaired."
And a third wrote: "Lee is the sweetest landlord of all time. Love that guy."
And user 'grimmrhythm' added: "It’s been a rough one for us all. Glad you were able to catch some kind of a break."
