Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that any property management professional in Idylwood Station performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for landlords: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Idylwood Station may ask to bend rules, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules exist. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to grant a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the landlord, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the property owner. 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 unreasonable requests.

 

We're paid to be your protect the owner's interests. It's harder to do that job when the tenant is going to ask the landlord to second-guess our work.
