Communications With The Tenant

Managing interactions with a tenant in Fairdale

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

Tenants in Fairdale may ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the owner to build a personal relationship with the property owner. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the owner 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 defend the property owner's interests. It's more difficult to do that job when the tenant is going to ask the property owner to second-guess our work.
