Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that a property management professional in Lebanon Church performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Lebanon Church often ask to change lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to grant a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

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

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

 

We're paid to be your protect the landlord's interests. It's harder to do that job when the tenant is going to ask the landlord to second-guess our work.
