Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Monroe typically ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to grant a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

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

Tenants will use contact with the owner to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. 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 owner at unreasonable hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

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