Communications With The Tenant

Managing interactions with a tenant in Fair Lakes

One of the primary services that a property management professional in Fair Lakes performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Fair Lakes often ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules exist. A tenant can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal all matters to the landlord, which cost the owner time and effort.

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