Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Baileys Crossroads typically ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. 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.

Tenants will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the landlord. 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 owner at odd hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

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