Communications With The Tenant

One of the important services that a property manager in Orkney Springs performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the rental investor to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Orkney Springs often ask to change lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Tenants 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 landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a owner at unreasonable hours or with crazy requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the owner's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the rental investor to overrule our work.
