Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that your property manager in Flint Hill performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Flint Hill often ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. 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 property owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be 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 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 rental investor to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a rental investor at strange hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's more difficult to do that job when the renter is going to ask the rental investor to overrule our work.
