Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in The_townes_of_shirlington may ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is against the owner's own interests.

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

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