Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that a property management expert in Clarendon performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the property owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Clarendon will often ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to grant a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take all matters to the property owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the owner to build a personal relationship with the property owner. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the property owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a landlord at strange hours or with various requests.
