New York City landlord waives April rent for 200 tenants amid coronavirus pandemic, saying 'I want everybody to be healthy. That's the whole thing.'

On March 30, he posted a notice on the front doors of all of his buildings announcing,"Due to the recent pandemic of Coronavirus COVID-19 affecting all of us, please note I am waiving rent for the month for April."

One of his tenants said she's been out of work since she was ordered to shut down her hair salon."He's Superman. He's a wonderful man," Kaitlyn Guteski told NBC New York."It's a game-changer.""For me, it was more important for people's health and worrying about who could put food on whose table," he told the outlet."I say don't worry about paying me, worry about your neighbor and worry about your family.

"I wanted to ease a little bit of that," he said."I know how damaging it can be for a kid to live through this kind of stress." In San Diego, California, Jeff Larabee's 18 tenants were told that they would not have to pay rent for the next three months.that he came to this decision after three of his tenants reached out to him and said they were concerned about making their payments.

God Bless you!

You set a great example for all to follow, Sir.

NYC will probably be locked down another 60 days.

Hero

People like this, not politicians make America great.

God bless you sir

A person with a heart and compassion and not $$ signs. Good on ya sir!!👍✌💙

Hero!❤️

Nice of him but many cant afford too... They have bills to pay as well... If your working - pay your bills i see some working from home wanting free rent. I mean come on

Instead of 15 mins he'll have 14 days of glory , this man looks like he is straight out the Soprano and will be a living legend in this neighborhood. good call

IvankaTrump jaredkushner cud b hero's if they did the same thing. But they want their rent so they r ZERO's 2 the world.

Now that's a big time player right there ! He is playing the long game ; for real ✌️😍

That's the heart of someone who gets reality of what is actually going on. This is not a joke or a way to control u. This us serious individuals lost jobs, lost loved ones, lost friends..why lose thier home also. Stay well 🤗🙏🇺🇲

Not Jared though....

Ah yes, lauding his moral choice as exemplary rather than pointing out that it wouldn't be necessary if the government just did the right thing and froze the rents in the first place.

Respect!✊🏾

And you know damn well he not trying to catch no rona

He is a saint.

I wonder if tenants for Trump's properties in New York would get their rents waived

God Bless him

Slumlord billionaire, Jared Kushner, a horrible human being without empathy, notorious for getting by on his family money while making really stupid decisions, is the LAST person America needs right now to address this tragic coronavirus debacle.

Clearly he has cash reserves and can afford it.

Ok

Nice!

Real Hero.

BillReyno In Argentina, all rents & mortgages are suspended for 6 months to allow people to stay home & flatten the curve. Argentina.

That is a good idea. Stop rents payments, mortgage payments, car payments, utility payments, loan payments, and credit card payments. Let companies write it off as losses on their taxes.

JasminLucci Waiving or postponing? That’s quite a hit for him, too.if he is truly giving them April, he is a saint.

GOD BLESS YOUR HEART❤️

JoMajority One of our heroes..

That's a real man right there. Blessings come to those that believe.

Lots of good and kind hearted people with no recourse to benefits but pure humanity. God bless him real good.

This guy is a better person than many of the people upstate

Yeah AOC hell with those greedy landlords that you want to bankrupt and steal property from you bafoon. Just you know you will never take over the American people or our spirit!

Bravo lad...greed just might b a stain on a reputation going forward 🤷‍♂️

Try this out: My landlady is trying to dispossess me because her adult son was engaging in animal cruelty, several people called the city animal warden, and he had to pay off the officer to avoid a felony charge and be left alone while he continues to do what he pleases.

He’s a good landlord ! In Chicago some are petty lol

That’s great that he has the means to do that. Anything to help those who are struggling.

xoxo

Why are the Banks not in quarantine for 90 days?

Thats a nice landlord. Mine charged me $175 for being 'late' one day and technically it wasnt late I paid on the second and they have a 4 day grace period. Im still fighting the charge.

Nice man!

How about Jared, is he doing it?

Ours sent an email saying they will only accept online payment or EFT due to coronavirus 🤷‍♂️

Wish these corporate leasing offices out here in CA were like that! Yes landlords from back east where I’m from are understanding and real! Not like these money hungry corporate leasing office dickheads!

Humanity wins 🙏

GOD BLESS YOU,,, I WISH YOU COULD SPEAK TO MY LANDLORD, he’s trying to evict people. Ugh 😩 your a god baring man. Amen.. 💯😎🙏❤️

Do it once and it becomes the expectation. Every good deed. You know the rest

These NY people.👌

Bless him

Communist!

Comedian bob dibuono. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👏🏻. Rt. Follow

Let's just hope he doesn't speak about Jesus or thank Trump because then he will become an enemy of the people.

Please do a story about Kushner demanding rent from his rental properties

Good Samaritan (continue to be your brother's keeper) may you reap your reward in a hundred fold

God Bless him

❤️❤️❤️

Well Done!

He won’t do it next month

He's a great man. Please approve🤘

Welp that only leaves 7,999,800.

Pay forward......

😎It's great. I'm sure we'll win if we help each other!

Love you.

He might waive his right to collect thereafter because his continuity of collection was broken by this act of kindness and generosity. Laws differ from state-to-state. Just saying.

I wish my land lord was on twitter, I would have tagged him, idiot needs to pick a lesson here

Was it Jared Kushner 😂😂😂

You are a disgrace

“How you doin’? Well, I’m gonna do yous a favor. No rent for April. But don’t forget the favor.”

Can he pay my mortgage?

You are a hero Mario!

Very decent man

What an amazing human!

Wow! Didn't know such people still exists in New York. Such a good man.

👍🏻

JARAD......ARE YOU LISTENING Of course not, none of that bunch care for anybody but themselves!

The gov't needs to pass a moratorium on rents and mortgages, debts (etc) as long as they are forbidding people to leave the house and go to work.

That was nice of him

Special place in heaven for people like him!

He's expecting double rent come May.

Hero Alert!! 🚨

Your Awesome

I wonder if Jared helped anyone with rents in his slum appartments? Anyone know? Nice if he did

Awesome

That’s another way of giving back to the community (if one can afford it). Many are doing all in their power within their possibilities to help their immediate communities. Thank you for sharing such inspiring story.

Hero

What an amazing stand up guy!

CLEVER /.. STORY TO RUN LESLIECHOW TOOTALOOO

I wish more people felt the same way

You are truly a good man...Thank you for showing such compassion and kindness..God Bless you

Awesome! What a relief for many tenants in this hotspot

The Kushner & Trump grifters need to take a page out of his playbook.

Nice person. I'm glad some people are getting relief, my rent was collected on the 1st.

THIS is someone who should be selected to stand beside Trump in the Rose Garden.

New York is in terrible pain right now - and there are many shining lights in that great city, in the midst of it all - and he is definitely one of them ⭐️

jaredkushner have you done the same SlumlordJared

Good man. God & karma will repay you richly for your kindness ♥️
