Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that a property management professional in Rileyville performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the landlord. The best practice is for the rental investor to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for landlords: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Rileyville will often ask to change rules, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to grant a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take every question to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the owner. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the property owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a owner at odd hours or with various requests.
