Communications With The Tenant

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

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

The result 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 renter will appeal every question to the landlord, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the rental investor 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 owner at unreasonable hours or with crazy requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the rental investor's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the owner to second-guess our work.
