Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Basye will often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A renter can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take all matters to the property owner, which cost the rental investor 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 property owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a owner at strange hours or with crazy requests.

 

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