Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that your property management expert in New Market performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for rental investors: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in New Market will often ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to grant a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take every question to the rental investor, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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