Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Cardinal Glen may ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to grant a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take every question to the property owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the landlord. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the property owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a property owner at unreasonable hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's more difficult to do that job when the tenant is going to ask the owner to overrule our work.
