Communications With The Tenant

Managing interactions with a tenant in Belvedere Condominium

One of the most critical services that a property management professional in Belvedere Condominium performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the property owner to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for landlords: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Belvedere Condominium will often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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

 

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