Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Browntown will often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to give into a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the landlord, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the rental investor to build a personal relationship with the owner. 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 property owner at strange hours or with various requests.
