Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that a property management expert in Strasburg performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the property owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for landlords: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Strasburg may ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to grant a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take every question to the property owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the owner to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a rental investor at unreasonable 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 landlord to second-guess our work.
