Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that any property management expert in Rockingham County performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the property owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Rockingham County may ask to change rules, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the rules exist. A tenant can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal every question to the owner, which cost the property owner 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 landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a rental investor at strange hours or with unreasonable requests.
