Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that a property manager in Bedford_park performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the rental investor to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Bedford_park often ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can ambush an uniformed rental investor 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 favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the landlord, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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