Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that your property manager in Fair Lakes performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Fair Lakes typically ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to give into a request that is against the owner'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 renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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