Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that your property management professional in Bridgewater performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Bridgewater may ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to grant a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the rental investor, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the owner. 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 unreasonable hours or with various requests.
