Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that any property management professional in Catharpin performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the property owner to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Catharpin may ask to bend rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the property owner 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 rental investor at strange hours or with crazy requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the property owner's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the owner to second-guess our work.
