Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that a property management professional in Clarendon performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the property owner. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for landlords: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Clarendon often ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to grant a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal all matters to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your defend the owner's interests. It's harder to do that job when the tenant is going to ask the landlord to second-guess our work.
