Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical services that any property manager in Lakeside performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the property owner. The best practice is for the property owner to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for landlords: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Lakeside may ask to break rules, 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 landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to give into a request that is counter to the property owner'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 renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the property owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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