Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in General_washington_club will often ask to change lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal every question to the landlord, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the property owner 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 renter can hound or harass a property owner at unreasonable hours or with crazy requests.
