Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that any property management expert in Huntly performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the rental investor. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Huntly may ask to change lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the landlord, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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

 

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