Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that a property manager in Devon Park performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Devon Park will often ask to change rules, 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 rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to give into a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take every question to the landlord, which cost the owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the rental investor to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a owner at strange hours or with unreasonable requests.
