Have you ever wished your rental home could one day be yours? For 75-year-old Jane Sayner from St. Albans, Melbourne, this dream became a reality.
After spending over two decades as a tenant in a two-bedroom apartment owned by multimillionaire John Perrett, Jane’s life took an extraordinary turn that she could never have anticipated.
When John Perrett passed away in September 2020, Jane, like many others, faced uncertainty about her future. She feared losing her home or facing steep rent increases under new ownership. However, to her astonishment, something incredible happened. Jane, along with another long-term tenant, was gifted ownership of the apartment she had rented for so many years.
It was a moment of disbelief and overwhelming gratitude for Jane, who never imagined she would own a property, especially at her age.
John Perrett was a man of remarkable generosity. After receiving a life-saving kidney transplant, he accumulated a significant fortune. But instead of keeping his wealth to himself, he chose to make a profound difference in the lives of others.
John donated AUD$18.6 million to the Royal Melbourne Hospital’s Nephrology Department, showing his deep gratitude for the care he received. Additionally, he left one of his flats, which was later sold for AUD$400,000, to the hospital.
