Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Carlyle District often ask to change rules, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor'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 tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take all matters to the owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the rental investor 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.

 

We're paid to be your defend the property owner's interests. It's harder to do that job when the tenant is going to ask the landlord to second-guess our work.
