Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that a property management expert in Dayton performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Dayton will often ask to bend rules, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

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

 

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