Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that your property management expert in Cameron Homes performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the property owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Cameron Homes often ask to break rules, or ask for 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 ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the owner to give into a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the owner time and effort.

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