Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that any property management professional in Leewood performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Leewood typically ask to bend rules, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to grant a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take every question to the landlord, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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

 

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