Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that your property management expert in Barton Hill 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 tenant. Important tip for property owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Barton Hill will often ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules exist. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take every question to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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

 

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