Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Huntly typically ask to bend rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional 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 property owner to give into a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple favor 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 landlord, which cost the rental investor 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 landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a property owner at odd hours or with unreasonable requests.
