Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that your property management professional in Burke performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the owner. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Burke often ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to grant a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take every question to the property owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the owner to build a personal relationship with the owner. 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 rental investor at odd hours or with various requests.

 

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