Communications With The Tenant

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

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

The result of giving into a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal every question to the landlord, 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 landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a rental investor at strange hours or with crazy requests.
