Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Rotonda typically ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take all matters to the property owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the rental investor to build a personal relationship with the owner. 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 owner 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.
