Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that a property management expert in Woodmont performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Woodmont typically ask to bend rules, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal every question to the owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your protect the landlord's interests. It's more difficult to do that job when the renter is going to ask the property owner to second-guess our work.
