Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that your property manager in Mac Dowell performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Mac Dowell may ask to break lease provisions, 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 tenant can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to grant a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take all matters to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor 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 landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a owner at unreasonable hours or with various requests.
