Communications With The Tenant

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

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

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

Tenants will use contact with the property owner 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 tenant can hound or harass a owner at odd hours or with crazy requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the rental investor's interests. It's more difficult to do that job when the tenant is going to ask the landlord to second-guess our work.
