Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical services that your property manager in Gainesville performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for landlords: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Gainesville often ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to grant a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the landlord, which cost the property 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 tenant can hound or harass a owner at odd hours or with various requests.
