Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that your property manager in Arlington Ridge performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the owner. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Arlington Ridge will often ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal every question 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 property owner. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a landlord at strange hours or with crazy requests.
