Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that any property manager in Creek Side Woods performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the owner. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Creek Side Woods often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to grant a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take every question to the rental investor, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the owner to build a personal relationship with the owner. 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 landlord at odd hours or with unreasonable requests.
