Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical services that a property management expert in Orkney Springs performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the rental investor. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for landlords: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Orkney Springs typically ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence 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 renter will take all matters to the landlord, which cost the property owner 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 owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a property owner at unreasonable hours or with crazy requests.
