Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that a property manager in Ridges_of_alexandria performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the landlord. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Ridges_of_alexandria often ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take every question to the property owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the landlord. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a rental investor at unreasonable hours or with various requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the owner's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the property owner to second-guess our work.
