Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that your property management professional in Arlington Ridge performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Arlington Ridge often ask to change lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to grant a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the owner 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 tenant can hound or harass a landlord at unreasonable hours or with crazy requests.
