Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that any property manager in 22182_ performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in 22182_ will often ask to change lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is counter to the property 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 renter will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

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