Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that your property manager in Linville performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for rental investors: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Linville typically ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to give into a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal every question to the property owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the landlord 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 tenant can hound or harass a rental investor at strange hours or with crazy requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's more difficult to do that job when the tenant is going to ask the landlord to second-guess our work.
