Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Braddock Heights often ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert 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 owner to give into a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take all matters to the landlord, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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