Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that your property manager in Clearfield performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

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

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal every question to the landlord, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the owner to build a personal relationship with the property 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 owner at odd hours or with crazy requests.
