Communications With The Tenant

Managing interactions with a renter in Springwood

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

Tenants in Springwood may ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A tenant can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to grant a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take every question to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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