Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that a property management expert in White Post performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in White Post often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to grant a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The result of acceding to 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 take every question to the landlord, which cost the owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the owner to build a personal relationship with the property owner. 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 owner at unreasonable hours or with various requests.

 

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