Communications With The Tenant

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

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

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take all matters to the landlord, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Renters 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 renter can hound or harass a property owner at odd hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

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