LUCKY TENANT
LANDLORD GAVE HOUSE Houses in Sydney have never been scarcer, or property values higher, yet recently a resident of Undc.r--elulTe was presented with an £800 brick cottage. His landlord handed him the deeds, said simply: "It's yours. You can continue paying me the. rent until I die, but I give 3-0u- the property." The landlord is a widower, has no relatives to whom he wished to leave the proyertv. The tenant was a Commonwealth public servant, is now a corporal in the army. Said the lucky tenant of the generous owner: "He was a stranger to me until 1 became his tenant. He had afternoon tea with myself and my wife 011 a few occasions. Apart from the fact, that we go on paying rent you m'ight say that I' was given the cottage for a cup of tea."
