Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that your property management expert in Woodstock performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for landlords: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Woodstock will often ask to change rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

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

Tenants will use contact with the owner 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 owner at odd hours or with various requests.
