Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that your 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 deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for landlords: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Bristow will often ask to change rules, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to give into a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take all matters to the landlord, which cost the owner time and effort.

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

 

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