These two women remind him of his own story. And it is for this reason that a real estate agent in the Pyrénées-Orientales decided to offer them the rent for the month of December as a Christmas gift, reveals France-Blue.

Sébastien Detry had indeed acquired this summer a building located in Millas with two apartments already occupied by two single women, each looking after a child.

“It reminded me of my mom who raised me on her own, and I remember some months were not easy. So I made the promise to give them a hand at the end of the year, ”recalls the owner.

He adds: “I did the accounts, I watched what I do. And there, I said to myself ” well, I’m going to offer them the rent ”. “

An unexpected but welcome Christmas present for both tenants. “I am 57 years old, I have rented often and I have never had an owner like that. My kids told me ” how? ”, My friend said ” what? Did he give you the rent ?! ” Same my best friend, she said to me, ” well said so it’s not going to happen to me … ” I said ” obviously, you are the owner ”, says, amused and joyful, one of the two tenants.

She explains that thanks to this nice gesture, she was able to “buy a few more gifts” and organizer of “good meals for Christmas and for the New Year”. “It’s like I won a scratch card,” she says.

And to those who accuse him of communicating, Sébastien Detry has a ready-made answer: “It’s a totally disinterested approach. So I know it’s complicated, there are credits on property, it’s the same for me, I haven’t received any of my buildings, but if it’s possible, I’ll tell everyone to do it. It is the spirit of Christmas at this very difficult time. “
