Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that any property manager in Frederick County performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Frederick County typically ask to change rules, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take all matters to the landlord, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the owner. 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 owner at unreasonable hours or with unreasonable requests.
