Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Clifton may ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to give into a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into 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 renter will appeal all matters to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Renters 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 various requests.

 

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