Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Happy Valley typically ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to grant a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. 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 owner at unreasonable hours or with various requests.
