Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in North_arlington typically 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 renter can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Renters 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 landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a owner at odd 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 landlord to overrule our work.
