I have no idea if landlords usually give housewarming gifts to their new tenants or if maybe it's just an Australia thing though I thought it was a really nice gesture. After coming up with first and last months rent and various deposits it can leave the household budget low which brings me to the core of today's post. An Australian landlord is being shamed for giving a basket full of cleaning supplies and other odds and ends to her new tenants. The detractors say the items were meant to make the renters feel they were being judged as being dirty. Seriously folks? Isn't anything above suspicion? Even if the gift may have been a little self serving because it was mostly cleaning supplies it was still things they weren't going to need to spend money on right away. Doesn't anyone try to think the best of people anymore? Does the phrase,"It's the thought that counts" mean anything today?
