Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Bearings_south often 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 in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the property owner, 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 owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a property owner at odd hours or with unreasonable requests.
