Communications With The Tenant

Handling interactions with a tenant in Riverside Meadows

One of the important services that a property management professional in Riverside Meadows performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Riverside Meadows will often ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to give into a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal every question to the landlord, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Renters 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 owner at unreasonable hours or with various requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the rental investor's interests. It's harder to do that job when the renter is going to ask the rental investor to second-guess our work.
