Communications With The Tenant

One of the important services that a property manager in Timberville 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 landlords: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Timberville may ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to give into a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take all matters to the property owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the property 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 various requests.
