Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that any property management expert in Flint Hill performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for rental investors: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Flint Hill often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to give into a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the rental investor 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 landlord at unreasonable hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

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