Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Newington Forest typically ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor'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 renter will take every question to the rental investor, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Tenants 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 owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a rental investor at odd hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

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