Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that a property management professional in Rotonda performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Rotonda will often ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal all matters to the landlord, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the owner to build a personal relationship with the 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 landlord at unreasonable 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 renter is going to ask the rental investor to overrule our work.
