Communications With The Tenant

Managing interactions with a tenant in 900 North Washington Street Condominiums

One of the important duties that your property management professional in 900 North Washington Street Condominiums performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in 900 North Washington Street Condominiums often ask to bend rules, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to give into a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the landlord. 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 unreasonable hours or with various requests.
