Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that your property manager in New Alexandria performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the property owner. The best practice is for the rental investor to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for landlords: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in New Alexandria may ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the rules exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to give into a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal every question to the owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your protect the property owner's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the property owner to overrule our work.
