Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Penn Laird will often ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to give into a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the landlord, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the landlord 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 renter can hound or harass a owner at strange hours or with crazy requests.
