Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that your property management professional in McGaheysville 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 tenant. Important tip for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in McGaheysville typically ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the rules exist. A tenant can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to give into a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the property owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the rental investor to build a personal relationship with the owner. 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 owner at odd hours or with unreasonable requests.
