Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Woolfenden will often ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to give into a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal all matters to the landlord, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your protect the landlord's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the rental investor to second-guess our work.
