Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that any property manager in Orkney Springs 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 tenant. Important tip for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Orkney Springs typically ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal all matters to the landlord, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the property owner 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 renter can hound or harass a landlord at odd hours or with various requests.
