Handling interactions with a renter in Sumner Lake
One of the most critical duties that any property manager in Sumner Lake 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 landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.
Renters in Sumner Lake may ask to bend rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.
The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.
Tenants 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 owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a owner at unreasonable hours or with various requests.
We're paid to be your protect the landlord's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the landlord to overrule our work.
