Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that your property manager in Mount Crawford performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the property owner to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Mount Crawford may ask to change lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal every question to the owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the landlord 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 rental investor at unreasonable hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the rental investor's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the property owner to second-guess our work.
