Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that any property manager in Sycamore Ridge performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Sycamore Ridge often ask to bend rules, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the owner to give into a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal every question to the owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the rental investor to build a personal relationship with the owner. 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 unreasonable hours or with various requests.
