Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that any property management expert in Woodland Park performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for rental investors: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Woodland Park may ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A renter can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to give into a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the property owner 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 tenant can hound or harass a rental investor at unreasonable hours or with crazy requests.
