Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary 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 deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for property owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Fort Valley often ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to grant a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows 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.

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

 

We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the property owner to second-guess our work.
