Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Flint Hill typically ask to change lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the owner to build a personal relationship with the owner. 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 owner at odd hours or with various requests.

 

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