Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that your property manager in Fair Ridge performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the rental investor. The best practice is for the rental investor to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

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

The result of giving into what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the rental investor, which cost the landlord 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 owner at unreasonable hours or with crazy requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's harder to do that job when the renter is going to ask the owner to overrule our work.
