Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that any property manager in Orkney Springs performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Orkney Springs will often ask to change lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to grant a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take all matters to the owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the property 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 property owner at strange hours or with crazy requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the owner to overrule our work.
