Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that any property management expert in Del Ray 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 rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Del Ray will often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to grant a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly 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 take all matters to the owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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