Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that your property manager in Chester Gap performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Chester Gap may ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is against the rental investor'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 renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take all matters to the owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. 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 odd hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

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