Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Strasburg typically ask to change rules, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can catch 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 result of giving into a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take all matters to the landlord, which cost the landlord 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 renter can hound or harass a property owner at strange hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

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