The most basic and fundamental need for every human, is to have a place they can call home- a sanctuary where they and their family can feel safe.
Understandably, tempers can flare when a tenants’ peace of mind is affected because of issues with the property they are renting.
By the same token, the property is most likely a landlord’s most significant financial asset, usually attached to a large mortgage.
So it is reasonable to suggest that conflicts between landlords and tenants, is very much a high stakes game.
Here are some tips from RealRenta for managing any potential flare-ups and conflicts with your tenants:
- Respond to maintenance requests and repair requests promptly
- Communicate clearly and respond to all requests quickly and respectfully
- Complete all repairs thoroughly and don’t leave any maintenance or repairs undone
- If a tenant starts losing control, stay calm, professional and firm-always
- Keep concise and comprehensive file notes for all issues and interactions
- Use a platform like RealRenta for all communications with your tenants
