Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Gaslight_square_condominium often ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to give into a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. 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 rental investor at odd hours or with unreasonable requests.
