Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that your property management professional in Courthouse Station performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the owner. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Courthouse Station may ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A renter can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your protect the property owner's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the property owner to overrule our work.
