Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Clarendon often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the owner 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 landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a landlord at strange hours or with crazy requests.
