Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Foxcroft may ask to bend rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal every question to the owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the property owner 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 rental investor at odd hours or with unreasonable requests.
