Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that any property manager in Rileyville performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for property owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Rileyville will often ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to give into a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take all matters to the owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the landlord. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a rental investor at unreasonable hours or with various requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the property owner's interests. It's harder to do that job when the renter is going to ask the property owner to second-guess our work.
