Communications With The Tenant

Handling interactions with a renter in Clifton Inventory

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

Renters in Clifton Inventory often ask to change rules, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the rental investor, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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

 

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