Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Woodville will often ask to change rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal every question to the owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the property owner 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 landlord at strange hours or with crazy requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the property owner's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the rental investor to overrule our work.
