Communications With The Tenant

Handling interactions with a tenant in Bridgewater

One of the primary duties that your property manager in Bridgewater performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the property owner. The best practice is for the property owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for landlords: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Bridgewater typically ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to give into a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take every question to the landlord, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the owner. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the 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.
