Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that any property management expert in Poplar Tree performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for property owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Poplar Tree typically ask to change lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A renter can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to grant a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the rental investor, which cost the owner time and effort.

Tenants 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 renter can hound or harass a landlord at unreasonable hours or with crazy requests.

 

We're paid to be your protect the owner's interests. It's harder to do that job when the renter is going to ask the landlord to second-guess our work.
