Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Fort Valley often ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take all matters to the rental investor, which cost the owner time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your defend the property owner's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the property owner to overrule our work.
