The Cuban tattoo artist Yero Vento, residing in the United States, has touched the hearts of thousands of social media users by sharing a video where he recounts the story of his friendship with a Cuban elderly couple who rent him an efficiency.
Since they moved in, the landlord claims that not a single day has gone by without enjoying a hot meal prepared by the tenant.
"I'm embarrassed, it even pains me to collect the rent, but it's part of my business," Vento confessed in the video, which has gone viral on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
She explained that the woman can no longer work. She and her husband live in the apartment. They are honest, helpful people, with a kindness that has won her heart.
The woman treats him like a son, calling him "my boy," and every day she brings him homemade food. In gratitude, the tattoo artist installed a washing machine in their home and lowered the rent, appreciating the responsibility of his tenants, who pay promptly on the 1st of each month.
"They are good people, of which there are hardly any left. I like having them here," Yero commented in one of his videos.
The gesture has sparked a wave of comments on social media. Many users commend him for his generosity and empathy, while others advise him to "watch out for so much kindness" or share similar experiences with older tenants.
In the United States, rental prices are increasingly high. The story of Yero and his tenants has struck a sensitive chord. Finding a good landlord is something that residents greatly value in cities where competition for housing can be fierce.
The video has become so popular that Yero has posted other clips showcasing the beautiful friendship that has developed between him and the elderly, reflecting that amid routine and difficulties, there is still space for kindness and gratitude.
