Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that any property management professional in Glebewood performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the property owner. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Glebewood may ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal every question to the landlord, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the rental investor 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 strange hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

We're paid to be your protect the rental investor's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the owner to overrule our work.
