Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that your property manager in Liberty Grove performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for rental investors: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Liberty Grove will often ask to change rules, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A renter can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to grant a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take every question to the property owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the landlord. 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 landlord at odd hours or with crazy requests.
