Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that a property manager in Huntly performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the property owner. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Huntly typically ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed landlord 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 acceding to a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take every question to the landlord, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the landlord 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 property owner at strange hours or with various requests.

 

We're paid to be your protect the landlord's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the rental investor to second-guess our work.
