Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Forest_glen may ask to change rules, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to give into a request that is against 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 tenant will appeal all matters to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the owner. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the rental investor to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant 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 more difficult to do that job when the tenant is going to ask the rental investor to second-guess our work.
