Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Lake Frederick may ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A tenant can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take 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 property owner. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the property owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a rental investor at unreasonable hours or with crazy requests.
