Communications With The Tenant

One of the important services 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 deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Fort Valley may ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take every question to the property owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the property owner 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 unreasonable requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the property owner's interests. It's more difficult to do that job when the renter is going to ask the owner to second-guess our work.
