Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that a property manager in Comment Page 2 performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the rental investor. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for property owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Comment Page 2 typically ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to grant a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

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

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