Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Wakefield often ask to bend rules, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to give into a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

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

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