Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Fountains 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. A tenant can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take every question to the owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the rental investor to build a personal relationship with the owner. 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 landlord at odd hours or with various requests.
