Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that a property management professional in Belle View performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Belle View will often ask to bend rules, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A renter can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows 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.

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