Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical services that your property management expert in North Springfield performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the property owner to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for landlords: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in North Springfield typically ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to give into a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the property 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 landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a property owner at strange hours or with various requests.
