Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in New Alexandria typically ask to change lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to give into a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple request 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.

Tenants will use contact with the rental investor to build a personal relationship with the landlord. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the rental investor to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a owner at strange hours or with various requests.
