Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that a property manager in Fair Lakes performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the owner. The best practice is for the rental investor to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for property owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Fair Lakes may ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's more difficult to do that job when the renter is going to ask the owner to overrule our work.
