Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Monticello Woods will often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to give into a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

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

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

 

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