Communications With The Tenant

One of the important services that your property management professional in Blue Ridge Shadows performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Blue Ridge Shadows will often ask to bend rules, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take all matters to the owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Tenants 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 owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a owner at odd hours or with unreasonable requests.
