Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Countryview often ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease 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 give into a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take every question to the property owner, which cost the property 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 owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a property owner at unreasonable hours or with unreasonable requests.
