Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Vermont Gardens often ask to bend rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to give into a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take all matters to the landlord, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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