Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Baileys Crossroads may ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the rental investor, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the landlord 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 landlord at unreasonable hours or with various requests.

 

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