Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical services that any property management expert in Lee Harrison performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the rental investor to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Lee Harrison may ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal all matters to the landlord, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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