Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that a property manager in Barcroft_forest performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the property owner to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for landlords: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Barcroft_forest will often ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to grant a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the landlord. 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 property owner at odd hours or with crazy requests.
