Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Ash Grove typically ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules exist. A renter can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take all matters to the property owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the owner to build a personal relationship with the owner. 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 property owner at strange hours or with unreasonable requests.
