Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that your property management expert in Fair Lakes performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the rental investor to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Fair Lakes often ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to give into a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows 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 landlord. 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 owner at unreasonable hours or with various requests.
