Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Woodville will often ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to give into a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to 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 all matters to the property owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the property owner. 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 property owner at strange hours or with various requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the owner to overrule our work.
