Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that a property management expert in Woodville performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Woodville will often ask to change rules, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed rental investor 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 acceding to a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the landlord, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the rental investor 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 renter can hound or harass a owner at unreasonable hours or with unreasonable requests.
