Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Whittier Acres often ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the owner to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal all matters 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 owner. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a owner at odd hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

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