Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that a property management expert in Washington_square performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for landlords: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Washington_square typically ask to change rules, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to grant a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take all matters to the property owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the property owner 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 tenant can hound or harass a 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 renter is going to ask the owner to second-guess our work.
