Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that a property manager in Franconia performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the rental investor. The best practice is for the property owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for rental investors: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Franconia will often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to grant a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal every question to the property owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the rental investor to build a personal relationship with the landlord. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the rental investor to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a landlord at odd hours or with crazy requests.

 

We're paid to be your protect the owner's interests. It's more difficult to do that job when the tenant is going to ask the landlord to second-guess our work.
