Communications With The Tenant

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

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

The consequence of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take all matters to the owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Tenants 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 rental investor to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a landlord at odd hours or with crazy requests.
