Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Holmes may ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to grant a request that is against the rental investor'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 believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the rental investor to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a owner at unreasonable hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the owner to overrule our work.
