Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical services that your property management professional in Belle_haven performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the owner. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Belle_haven typically ask to change lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to grant a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The consequence 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 tenant will appeal every question to the owner, which cost the owner 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 property owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a rental investor at unreasonable hours or with crazy requests.

 

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