Communications With The Tenant

One of the important services that a property management professional in Bristow 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 renter. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Bristow typically ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to give into a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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