Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Gainesville typically ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A tenant can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to grant 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 renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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