Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical services that a property management professional in Flint Hill performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the rental investor to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Flint Hill typically ask to change rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to grant a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take all matters to the rental investor, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your defend the rental investor's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the property owner to second-guess our work.
