Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Sheridan Square often ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

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

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