Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that any property management professional in Shawneeland performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the property owner. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Shawneeland typically ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A renter can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the owner to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Renters 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 renter can hound or harass a property owner at odd hours or with crazy requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's harder to do that job when the tenant is going to ask the owner to second-guess our work.
