Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that any property manager in Grottoes performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Grottoes may ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed landlord 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 believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take all matters to the owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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

 

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