Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Lake Frederick will often ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to grant a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal every question to the property owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the rental investor to build a personal relationship with the 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 owner at unreasonable hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

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