Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that a property manager in Fort Valley performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the owner. The best practice is for the property owner to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Fort Valley typically ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to give into a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take all matters to the rental investor, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the landlord. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the rental investor to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a rental investor at strange hours or with various requests.
