Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that any property manager in Georgetowne Court performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Georgetowne Court often ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to give into a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the rental investor, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your defend the owner's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the property owner to second-guess our work.
