Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Oakcrest may ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

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

Renters will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. 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 landlord at strange hours or with various requests.

 

We're paid to be your protect the landlord's interests. It's harder to do that job when the tenant is going to ask the rental investor to second-guess our work.
