Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that your property manager in Westridge performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for rental investors: never share your contact information with the renter.

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

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal every question to the landlord, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the rental investor to build a personal relationship with the landlord. 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 odd hours or with various requests.
