Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical services that any property management professional in New Market performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in New Market often ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal all matters to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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