Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that a property manager in Great Falls performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for landlords: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Great Falls may ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take every question to the property owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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

 

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