Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that a property management professional in Whitacre performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for property owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Whitacre may ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to give into a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal all matters to the property owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the landlord to overrule our work.
