Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that a property manager in Basye performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the property owner. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for property owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Basye may ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to grant a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take every question to the owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your protect the property owner's interests. It's harder to do that job when the tenant is going to ask the owner to second-guess our work.
