The tenant is making a good gesture to pay half the cost for the door.

That honor, however, has been derided by critics as a hollow gesture toward the family.

This is a very sweet gesture, but we will need much, much more information to give an accurate recommendation.

No matter what kind of car you roll up in, clothes you wear, how you speak, how you gesture everything may be interpreted because sometimes that is what we humans do.Some will see it just as you fear as the rich greedy SOB landlord here to collect pennies from the minions.

Dividing the payment into different installments gives the contractor the incentive to get done early for that bonus, and I would say doing the little gestures such as buying the contractor's team lunch just once a week goes a long way in this game. 

I think it's a very nice gesture for sure.

Nice gesture but I would advise against it, it opens up a can of worms that they can use in the future. 

If it were me, I'd follow with something that does not admit anything but perhaps smooths the water.I'm sorry we disagree on this but I will concede some dollar figure as a gesture of good faith.

Thankfully she left the unit spotless and appreciated the gesture.
