Communications With The Tenant

Handling interactions with a renter in Georgetown Village

One of the important services that any property management expert in Georgetown Village 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 tip for rental investors: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Georgetown Village typically ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to grant a request that is against the owner's own interests.

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

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