Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Westridge Somers often ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management professional 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 ignorance causing the owner to grant a request that is against the landlord'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 owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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