Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that any property manager in Elmwood_estates performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Elmwood_estates will often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

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

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

 

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