Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical services that a property management professional in Oxford Row Condos performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the landlord. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Oxford Row Condos will often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the rules exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to grant a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal all matters to the landlord, which cost the owner time and effort.

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