Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that your property management professional in Sherbrooke 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 renter. Important tip for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Sherbrooke often ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take every question to the property owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your defend the rental investor's interests. It's more difficult to do that job when the tenant is going to ask the landlord to second-guess our work.
