'Tis the season to... generously overcharge your tenants rent in the form of forced savings. A now-viral online post has infuriated people all across the web, after a user revealed that her mother has been purposely making her tenants pay a higher rent.
![[She said her mom hoped that the money could be used for their daughter's schooling]](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/12/27/22/93527477-14230667-She_said-a-33_1735337830532.jpg)
The user, named Chantale, explained that her mom did it for a heartwarming reason - because she planned to give them the extra money back when they moved out to use towards their daughter's school. However, social media users fumed over the act of forced-saving, and argued that it was never her money to take.
'My mom’s tenants don’t even know that for the past seven years they’ve been renting from us we’ve been setting a portion aside to give both their daughters for school when they move out,' Chantale, who posts under the username @trapezoidmouth, wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
'One of them is destined to cure cancer, the other one is special needs and has exceeded every expectation we’ve had I’ve never seen such diligent and hard working kids in my life they deserve everything,' she added in a comment. The post quickly went viral, dividing users over whether or not the act was charitable or extremely condescending.
'If some of the pay is going back to the tenants when they leave (so they say) then they are overcharging. They are also being patronizing,' one user argued. An X user has sparked a debate after she revealed that her mom was overcharged her tenants with their rent but planned to give the extra money back to them after they moved out.
