Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Bridgewater may ask to bend 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 counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take all matters to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the rental investor 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 tenant can hound or harass a rental investor at strange 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 overrule our work.
