Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that any property management professional in Lake Ridge performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Lake Ridge will often ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A renter can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to give into a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the landlord 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 property owner at odd hours or with various requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the property owner's interests. It's more difficult to do that job when the tenant is going to ask the landlord to overrule our work.
