Communications With The Tenant

One of the important services that your property management professional in Parker Gray performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the property owner. The best practice is for the rental investor to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Parker Gray may ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions exist. A tenant can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord 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 an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal all matters to the property owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the rental investor to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. 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 landlord at strange hours or with crazy requests.
