Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that a property management professional in Amberleigh performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Amberleigh will often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the owner to give into a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

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

Renters 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 owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a owner at odd hours or with various requests.
