Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that your property manager in Great Forest performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Great Forest will often ask to change rules, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A renter can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the property owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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

 

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