Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that a property management expert in Boston performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Boston often ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A renter can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to grant a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the rental investor, which cost the owner time and effort.

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