Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that a property management professional in Bristow performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for rental investors: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Bristow will often ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the rules exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take all matters to the property owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the owner to build a personal relationship with the landlord. 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 property owner 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 tenant is going to ask the landlord to second-guess our work.
