Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that any property manager in Burke performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Burke typically ask to bend rules, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to give into a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take all matters to the landlord, which cost the owner time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your defend the rental investor's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the rental investor to second-guess our work.
