Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Penn Laird often ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the rules exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to grant a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take every question to the landlord, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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