Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that any property management expert in Lafayette Park Condominium 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 advice for landlords: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Lafayette Park Condominium may ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to give into a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal all matters to the property owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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