Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Woodlawn_acres often ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A tenant can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to grant a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to 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 take all matters to the property owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your defend the property owner's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the owner to overrule our work.
