Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that any property management professional in Baileys Crossroads performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Baileys Crossroads often ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to grant a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take every question to the landlord, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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