Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Baileys Crossroads may ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to grant a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take every question to the property owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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

 

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