Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Halemhurst will often ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A tenant can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the property owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the property owner 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 landlord at odd hours or with unreasonable requests.
