Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Courtbridge often ask to change lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to give into a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

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

Tenants will use contact with the owner 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 tenant can hound or harass a rental investor at unreasonable hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

We're paid to be your protect the rental investor's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the owner to second-guess our work.
