A tenant has shared the heartwarming note he received from his landlord, with his post clocking more than 100,000 likes online.

It’s dubbed the “most wonderful time of the year”, but the reality is Christmas can be stressful, tiring and often takes a hit on our finances.

Now this “struggling” tenant has shown off the heartwarming gesture from his landlord – revealing it was exactly what he needed during this festive period, The Sun reports.

Instead of giving him something he’d never use, the landlord sent his tenant a note explaining that he halved his rent — saving the tenant $U440 ($A600).

It reads: “Season’s greetings and best wishes for the coming year. Chris, I figured the best Santa gift for you would be taking off half the January rent. So just pay $440 at the end of this month. Lee.”

Gushing about the gesture on Reddit, the renter said: “Didn’t get any gifts for Christmas except from my landlord. He has no idea I’ve been struggling lately.”

The man’s post racked up more than 100,000 ‘likes’, with many praising the landlord in the comments.

One said: “It’s been a rough one for us all. Glad you were able to catch some kind of a break.”

While a second wrote: “Nice to see some common decency out there.”

A third reader added: “I hope you are able to get the help you need. It’s been a hard year for many!”

And a fourth commented: “That’s pretty awesome. Sure wish that would happen to me.”
