Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Meadow Branch will often ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A renter can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is against the rental investor'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 tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal all matters to the landlord, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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