Communications With The Tenant

One of the important services that your property management professional in Lake Forest performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Lake Forest may ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to grant a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take every question to the property owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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