Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in New Alexandria often ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal every question to the property owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the landlord 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 owner at odd hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

We're paid to be your protect the owner's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the rental investor to second-guess our work.
