The "do no evil" landlord part of me says to comp the tenant $25 bucks for the inconvenience just as a gesture of goodwill, not because I'm required too.

I think setting up a time would be better, but I don't want to say "Hey I have a little something for you" and then make them feel obligated to return the gesture.

If so perhaps you can ask for a "credit" for the difference to come out of their fee for placing the next set of tenants on this property as a goodwill gesture.

Dear membersAs a gesture of goodwill I allowed one handyman to park his truck on a corner of my rental property premise for a short duration.

I do love the idea about giving the tenants a little something hen situations like this arrive, it's a very nice gesture.

Sometimes, this little gesture by you will turn into a big deal to your tenant and she will think that you are gold for being understanding.  

Keep in mind that many people contribute here on BP strictly as a goodwill gesture - even if you don't appreciate the input, when you ask for input here on a public forum you will get all sorts of commentary, good and bad, wanted and unwanted ...

Many will stay longer term if you provide a small discount on rent (like even just $10 per mo as a gesture) or if you simply agree to not raise rents. 

That's always a nice gesture.

Or do you do it more as a nice gesture without seeing a financial benefit?
