Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that any property management professional in Owens Wood performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Owens Wood will often ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A renter can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take all matters to the 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 rental investor 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.
