Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that your property management expert in Del Ray performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the property owner. The best practice is for the property owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for landlords: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Del Ray typically ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to grant a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take all matters to the owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the owner. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the property owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a rental investor at unreasonable hours or with crazy requests.

 

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