Communications With The Tenant

One of the important services that a property management professional in Belle View 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 tenant. Important tip for owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Belle View typically ask to bend rules, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to give into a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be 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 owner time and effort.

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