Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that any property manager in Meadowbranch performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

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

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

Tenants 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 tenant can hound or harass a property owner at unreasonable hours or with various requests.
