Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that your property manager in Fort Valley performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the property owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for property owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Fort Valley will often ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to grant a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the property owner, which cost the owner 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 landlord at strange hours or with crazy requests.
