Handling interactions with a renter in The Fountains
One of the important duties that any property management expert in The Fountains performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for owners: never share your contact information with the renter.
Tenants in The Fountains typically ask to change rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A tenant can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to grant a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.
The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.
Tenants will use contact with the rental investor to build a personal relationship with the property owner. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a rental investor at odd hours or with various requests.
We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's harder to do that job when the tenant is going to ask the rental investor to overrule our work.
