Miss Manners: The couple renting from us is having a baby. My husband says it’s unprofessional to send them a gift.I own several rental properties. Good tenants can be hard to find, but I have a fantastic younger couple renting one of my properties. They keep the place spotless, are never late on rent, and are just the nicest and most respectful people.

I feel like I should also send a small shower gift because I appreciate how much they care for and respect my property. Nothing extravagant, just a nice card with a gift card enclosed, and perhaps a pack of diapers with a bow on it. I was disappointed, but I just proceeded with my plans for the day. Two days later, I received an email from her canceling my NEXT appointment and refunding the balance on my prepaid account.

I was flabbergasted. Since when am I required to make a phone call back when the one received was a clear message? Am I ignorant about new manners related to new technology?
