Communications With The Tenant

Handling interactions with a tenant in Miller Heights

One of the most critical services that any property management expert in Miller Heights performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Miller Heights typically ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor 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 tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take all matters to the rental investor, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the rental investor 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 renter can hound or harass a landlord at unreasonable hours or with unreasonable requests.
