Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that a property management professional in Catharpin performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Catharpin often ask to break rules, 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 ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take all matters to the property owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the property owner. 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 property owner at odd hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the rental investor's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the landlord to second-guess our work.
