Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that your property manager in Bristow performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant 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 tenant.

Renters in Bristow will often ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to grant a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

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

Renters will use contact with the owner to build a personal relationship with the property 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 property owner at strange hours or with various requests.
