Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that any property management expert in Mt Pleasant performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the owner. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

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

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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