Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that your property management professional in Leigh Meadow performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the landlord. The best practice is for the rental investor to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Leigh Meadow may ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to grant a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal every question to the landlord, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the owner. 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 odd hours or with various requests.
