Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that any property manager in Clarendon performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Clarendon may ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to give into a request that is against the property owner'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 believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal every question to the owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the owner to build a personal relationship with the property 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 unreasonable hours or with various requests.
