Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in White Post often ask to bend rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A tenant can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to give into a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal all matters to the property owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

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