Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that a property manager in Belle View performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the rental investor to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for rental investors: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Belle View may ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the owner 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 a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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