Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that a property manager in Bristow performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the property owner. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Bristow will often ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Tenants 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 landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a owner at unreasonable hours or with crazy requests.
