Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that a property manager in Burke performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the rental investor to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Burke often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the rules exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to grant a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take all matters to the rental investor, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the rental investor 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 renter can hound or harass a landlord at odd hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

We're paid to be your protect the landlord's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the rental investor to overrule our work.
