Communications With The Tenant

One of the important services that a property manager in Orkney Springs performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for property owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Orkney Springs typically ask to change lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A tenant can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to give into a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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