Gift certificate for tenant or rent discount?

Nikki Taylor

We recently had a shower remodel that was supposed to take 2 days but ended up taking 4 days of work over the course of a week because of larger issues that were uncovered during the reno. Tenant has been great, letting in the workers when needed, she went without a shower for 2 days, ongoing work for a week, hasn't complained. We were thinking it would be nice to offer something as a show of appreciation. I'm not sure I want to discount any rent because I don't want to set a precedent for rent withholding, but was thinking maybe a $100 gift certificate to a nice restaurant in town makes sense? Is this something that landlords do?  We're pretty new to being landlords (just over a year) but we love this tenant and want her to stay. Any thoughts are appreciated!

I'm not sure if it's something that most landlords do, but I would do it.  Especially if she is good tenant!  It's a good gesture to show you are acknowledging her inconvenience.
