Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that your property manager in Bristow performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the rental investor to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for rental investors: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Bristow will often ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to give into a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the landlord 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 rental investor to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a property owner at strange hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

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