Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that a property manager in Huntly performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the property owner. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Huntly will often ask to change lease provisions, or make 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 landlord at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

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

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

 

We're paid to be your defend the owner's interests. It's harder to do that job when the renter is going to ask the property owner to second-guess our work.
