Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that a property management expert in Arlingwood performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the property owner. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for rental investors: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Arlingwood typically ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions exist. A tenant can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take all matters to the landlord, which cost the rental investor 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 owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a property owner at strange hours or with crazy requests.
