Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that a property manager in Linville performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the rental investor. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for rental investors: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Linville may ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to give into a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take all matters to the owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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

 

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