Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that your property manager in Mount Vernon Meadows performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Mount Vernon Meadows often ask to bend rules, 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 ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to give into a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the property owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

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