Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in River_bend_estates will often ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to give into a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the property owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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

 

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