Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that your property management professional in Sideburn performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the property owner. The best practice is for the property owner to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Sideburn will often ask to bend rules, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the owner to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the rental investor 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 tenant can hound or harass a landlord at unreasonable hours or with various requests.
