Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that your property management expert in Mount Vernon 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 tenant. Important advice for owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Mount Vernon may ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to grant a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your defend the owner's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the property owner to overrule our work.
