Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that any property management expert in Whitacre performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Whitacre will often ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to grant a request that is against the landlord'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 tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take all matters to the rental investor, which cost the owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the rental investor to build a personal relationship with the landlord. 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 owner at odd hours or with various requests.
