Communications With The Tenant

One of the important services that any property management professional in Centreville_green performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for rental investors: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Centreville_green typically ask to bend rules, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the owner to give into a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the landlord, 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 rental investor to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a rental investor at strange hours or with various requests.
