Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that any property management professional in Arlington Ridge performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Arlington Ridge often ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the owner to give into a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the owner 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 rental investor's interests. It's more difficult to do that job when the renter is going to ask the landlord to second-guess our work.
